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.

what we do
We invite female entrepreneurs to campus to learn from and discuss their experiences and current ventures. We are committed to creating an open and accepting community of entrepreneurially motivated women on campus by hosting monthly dinners and meetings, as well as facilitating our mentorship program. In past years, we’ve additionally organized trips to NYC to meet up with female founders/industry leaders!
