Enthuse Foundation

For a long time, entrepreneurship had been the domain of men due to their ability to tap into established networks for financing and mentorship. While that is changing, women are still less likely than men to receive more than $100K in funding, or even access to the alliances that will help them build a business. We want to do our part to change that. Since its inception, our vision for our company, Enthuse Marketing, has included a foundation to support female entrepreneurs and create a new community of thought leaders. While there are a growing number of organizations and incubators offering financing and mentorships to women-owned businesses, we found that few, if any, offered constructive feedback as to why a business wasn’t selected for their program. We realized that it wasn’t what female entrepreneurs were saying, but, perhaps, what they weren’t saying that was preventing them from getting to the next round. This inspired us to create the Enthuse Foundation. Drawing on our experience, we’ve created a multi-tiered platform for women to receive the insights and resources they need to take their business from new to next. We believe the Enthuse Foundation can help to support the growth of women-owned businesses through education, mentoring, inspiration, community building, access to capital, and pitch night events. We welcome you to join us and hope you find these resources helpful in taking your business from new...to next. Kim Pulczinski-Lawton and Kristy Snyder, Founders Enthuse Foundation
