History
On May 17, 2007 Suzi Sosa invited 20 women entrepreneur friends to gather around a single table to meet and connect. Over the course of the evening, as each woman told her story, laughter, sighs, and applause erupted, and quickly the group realized that despite different industries and backgrounds, there was a common passion, drive, and experience to being a woman entrepreneur. In particular, the women realized that they all had the shared goal of wanting to grow their businesses and by exchanging information and learning from each other, all would benefit in the end. Thus, without prior planning or intent, the spirit of the group was born, and in early 2008 we incorporated as Austin Women Entrepreneurs.
