Founded in the Washington D.C. area, AAWEA serves as a global platform designed to support, nurture, and accelerate the growth of women-led businesses. We believe in the power of our core values—the 4Cs: Cognition, Courage, Connection, and Creativity—to drive personal and professional success. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to make entrepreneurship more accessible for Asian American women. Through our programs, resources, and community, we aim to lower the barriers to entry, mitigate risks, and provide the tools necessary to accelerate their entrepreneurial journey. Since our founding, AAWEA has organized numerous events, workshops, and forums, including the signature HerPower Forum, which attracts top female entrepreneurs and industry leaders to share their insights and journeys. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by Asian American women in the business world, we provide tailored support through mentoring, coaching, and networking opportunities. At AAWEA, we are committed to fostering a supportive ecosystem where Asian American women can connect, collaborate, and grow together. Whether you are just starting out or looking to scale your business, AAWEA offers an array of services such as professional coaching, business resources, virtual office services, and exclusive access to high-quality events. We believe every woman has the potential to unlock their unique power and create lasting impact in the business world.
