What is an Exchange?
The Founding Exchange is the place for entrepreneurial women to build better businesses by meeting and supporting one another in twice-monthly mastermind sessions. We’re invested in real time problem-solving, educating and empowering one another. We don’t sell or recruit to fellow members and this is certainly not a dressed-up business card swap. We wanna grow authentic and productive relationships that help us to make more money. So, come as you are. Bring a friend. See for yourself.
