About
What is “Startup Princess?”
Startup Princess is an international network committed to Empowering Women Entrepreneurs by offering resources for women in business to support, mentor, collaborate, learn from, and inspire one another. In 2006, after struggling to raise funding for an initial business venture, Kelly King Anderson recognized an important market niche existed for reliable resources educating women desiring to start and grow successful businesses, thus Startup Princess was developed.
Startup Princess offers the following resources for women entrepreneurs:
*Education offering Conferences, Retreats, Chapter Events, an informative Blog, Entrepreneurial Coaching, and inspiration from our Fairy Godmothers who are successful women entrepreneurs willing to share their secrets to success in business.
*Encouragement offering social events that enable women entrepreneurs the opportunity to build relationships with the intent to support, mentor, collaborate, learn from, and inspire one another.
*Exchange offering online and local chapter Startup Princess events that allow for business networking opportunities. Currently monthly events are being held in Utah County, SLC, and Orange County, CA.
