COMMUNITY OF KICK-ASS WOMEN

Princeton Women in Entrepreneurship is a community of women who are passionate about bringing together and empowering the next generation of Princeton’s female entrepreneurs. Our mission is to build a community for those seeking to learn, connect, and work with the entrepreneurially minded women of Princeton and the world. We bring in unique voices of trailblazing women through panels, discussions, and mentorship programs and share out those powerful stories to the Princeton community.

POL ‘26

“I joined E-club when I sadly discovered that Princeton does not offer an entrepreneurship major. I joined the club to meet like-minded individuals with a passion to build things. This club has allowed me to find that community as well as attend amazing events. I hope to help grow this club and continue to integrate entreship into the curriculum at Princeton.”

I have been passionate about entrepreneurship since high school where I started a mental health charity and my current company, InstantReplay Fashion. This is my second year in E-club and I am the E-Club Gear/Social Chair Advisor. Last year I was on the board of PWE and I am excited to take everything I learned last year and help grow PWE as this year's director.

ECO ‘26

“I joined E-club my freshman year because I was drawn to the community of passionate and curious entrepreneurs. I admire the diversity of members that E-Club attracts due to its variety of sub-teams. As an aspirational entrepreneur myself, E-Club is an incredible opportunity to collaborate with peers and seek guidance on projects and ideas.”

Hello! I am a Sophomore from Providence, RI majoring in Economics. One of my favorite activities is rowing and I am a member for the lightweight women's varsity crew team at Princeton as well as a member of the U23 National Team. I am very interested in both entrepreneurship and finance and am on the diligence team for Princeton University Capital Partners (PUCP). PWE is an excellent opportunity to develop my entrepreneurial goals and I am excited to co-lead the club this coming year!
