Women Venture

For over forty years, WomenVenture has provided women of all ages, cultures, races, and income levels with the tools and resources to achieve economic success through small business ownership.

Women’s Business Center

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) designated WomenVenture as one of the nation’s first Women’s Business Centers in 2000 and our training courses, volunteers, and consultants continue to support all entrepreneurs providing them with the resources they need to launch, grow, and sustain their businesses.

We are one of only three in Minnesota and we are part of a network of nearly 100 educational centers designed to level the playing field for women entrepreneurs who face unique obstacles in the world of business. WBCs ensure that critical resources are available to all women entrepreneurs, and specifically those who are economically or socially disadvantaged. Approved to offer SBA loan products under SBA’s Microloan Program.
