Our Story
Amidst the 2020 pandemic, Sian Horn, a business consultant, began hosting online coffee dates to lend a hand to women navigating business struggles. As word spread, she noticed a significant gap: the absence of a dedicated learning platform and supportive community tailored specifically for women in business. This insight sparked the creation of our network, aiming to empower and connect women professionals and entrepreneurs.
Now, with over 200 members and growing, we host events and online meetings across Ireland that bring women together, growing their confidence and expanding their professional networks. Our community continues to grow, empowering women to achieve their goals and make lasting friendships in business and beyond.
