W**e Women & Shoes benefiting weVENTURE Women entrepreneurs are the fastest growing segment of new business starts in the nation.

For Your Best Self Dermatology + Plastic Surgery presents the inaugural W**e Women & Shoes Space Coast event, benefitting weVENTURE Women’s Business Center (WBC) on Saturday August 26th from 2-6pm at the Radisson at the Port. This is an opportunity for women to get glamorous with their girlfriends, show off their swankiest shoes, enjoy incredible varietals from top w**emakers, shop local woman-owned businesses in the marketplace and see the latest looks from local boutiques and local female designers – all for a great cause. The mission of weVENTURE WBC is to ignite the economic power of women by providing low and no cost business education, training and mentorship to female entrepreneurs and leadership development opportunities for women across all industries. This event is a perfect opportunity for empowered women to help empower other women and support the local small business community. In contrast to the 5.2% growth rate for enterprises owned by men between 2012 and 2019, women-owned companies saw 16.7% growth over that time, according to the National Women’s Business Council, and the trend has continued since the pandemic. In Program year 22-22, weVENTURE WBC counseled 716 unique small business clients, 45% were in business for 2 years or less.

“Demand for our services has never been higher,” notes Kathryn Rudloff, Executive Director of weVENTURE WBC. “Proceeds from this FUNdraising event will help fund our business coaching and education programs, as well as fund an inaugural IMPACT Grant, providing much needed access to capital for deserving local entrepreneurs.”
