WIN is the Greater Philadelphia region's only organization specifically for women who are leaders of and investors in high-growth businesses. WIN promotes the expansion of women-led and women-owned businesses with high growth potential through education, networking, mentoring, and exposure to investment resources.

In 1995, a group of women who were CEOs and founders of growing companies drew together to share experiences, knowledge, and support -- with each other and with a growing population in the Philadelphia area that could be defined as "the new woman entrepreneur."

We took on a more formal organization as WIN in 1996 and have become known for our programming, bringing members and the community a wide range of presentations from industry leaders. Over the years our programs have covered everything from modes of access to capital to the changing role of the management team, from finding federal funding to building strategic alliances. WIN has become known as well for the personal, respectful, and intentional way that members find support through person-to-person introductions and access to useful resources.

As WIN enters its second decade, we are actively committed to building an infrastructure that will continue to attract local women-led businesses and their leaders to the organization, that will reach out to future women entrepreneurs and leaders in the area's business programs, and that will help attract potential business to the region. We are working to advance the growth potential of women-led businesses -- and women business leaders.
