Women Entrepreneurs and Business Owners Social Network

I have found this new social network for women Project Eve....Guys can check it out too.. you never know but designed by women for women entrepreneur and business owners. It is a place to discuss, support, learn, discover and connect. The site is dedicated to furthering women’s understanding about business and overcoming obstacles to action.  

Co-founder Kim Oksenberg says “the reason for this is to allow women to communicate, collaborate, and share actionable solutions minus the “sharp elbows”. She says, “The male-dominated start-up community can be intimidating; it seems to thrive on competition and boldness. Meridith (co-founder Meridith Dennes) and I wanted to create a safe, positive, constructive forum for women to discuss and fully develop their ideas before having to defend them.” 

In addition to ease some of the fear and hesitation tied to starting a business, Project Eve provides its members access to hard to find business resources, the ability to develop relationships with people previously thought out of reach, and a receptive platform to demonstrate their expertise, market, and grow their business.

While you can create lists of other women who work in related industries, I believe the real value is in having access to other business owners where you need to outsource or partner. LinkedIn doesn’t allow you to do that without joining a countless of groups and digging through all of its members.

The site also features members in order to help grow and build your following and sends a daily email with those asking for help, which you can answer easily and quickly if you have the expertise they need.
