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 startup 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.
Successful women entrepreneurs understand that for every business venture, they are in charge of creating, organizing, developing, managing, and assuming all the risks associated with their enterprise.

Hi Carla, I listened to you on the BYU Sirius radio channel the other day. I was very intrigued about what you had to say. I have a business idea that I want to start. But I always run into the same question, where do I find funding enough to get me started and carry me until it all comes together? If you could either comment or send me in a direction that would help me out I would truly appreciate it.
