BALTIMORE — Two local organizations, Black Door Society and Women Elevating Women, have come together to help women entrepreneurs through the struggle they see that comes with running a business.
Black Door Society works with startups, while Women Elevating Women works with women entrepreneurs in the six-figure range. Together, they're bridging that gap and helping other women succeed.
To break the barriers for women entrepreneurs it takes a joint effort.
"We believe that if women support each other, they can scale much faster than trying to do it alone," says Betty Hines, CEO and Founder of Women Elevating Women.
"We don't get those strategic connections. So, it's absolutely the access to capital. And it's out there. So, we want to make sure they have the right resources, and the opportunities, and the connections. So, this is what I find is a struggle for Black women, is that we don’t do a lot of that,” says Hines.
"We just take a page out of the good old boy network and instead of doing deals on golf courses, we're doing them while getting mani-pedis and you know, having a good time at brunches and lunches," says Sharrarne Morton., founder and president of Black Door Society.
