Women's Entrepreneurship Day

What were you doing at 16?

Juliette Coley () was building a global movement.

Before most teens get their driver's license, Juliette had already:

Grown from zero to over 6 millions of followers
Become a recognized voice for young creators worldwide
Won the 2025 Global Child Prodigy Award for Social Media
Published her first book, Where Are My YouTubers?

But Juliette's story isn't really about followers.

It's about possibility.

It's about showing a generation of young women that they don't need to wait for permission, a title, or a seat at the table. They can build their own.

That's why we're honored to welcome Juliette to the Summit at the United Nations Delegates Dining Room in New York City, where she will share the stage with some of the world's most extraordinary women leaders:

Kendra Scott — UNICORN/Founder of a billion-dollar global jewelry brand and philanthropist who has empowered countless women through entrepreneurship, education, and giving back.

Allison Ellsworth — UNICORN/Co-founder of POPPI, acquired by PepsiCo in a deal valued at nearly $2 billion, after transforming a kitchen recipe into one of the fastest-growing beverage brands in America.

Jenny Hoyos — One of the world's most-viewed creators, reaching over 20 billions of views while redefining how the next generation learns, creates, and connects.

Julie Wainwright — UNICORN/Founder of The RealReal and the first woman to lead multiple companies to successful NASDAQ public offering, paving the way for women in technology and business.

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus —Philanthropist, Chairperson Louis Dreyfus Holding B.V., Founder Human Change & Louis Dreyfus Foundation. Also former owner Olympique de Marseille, one of Europe's most historic football clubs!

Together, these women represent billions of dollars in enterprise value, billions of views, global brands, groundbreaking innovation, and lives changed across generations.

But what makes this gathering truly special isn't what they've built.

It's who they're helping build next.

Every tax-deductible donation helps the WEDO Foundation bring more young women, students, entrepreneurs, and future leaders into rooms where opportunities are created, partnerships are formed, and dreams become reality.

Yet the most important person in the room may not be one of the headline speakers.

She may be the young woman searching for her path, or the entrepreneur ready to reinvent herself, sitting in the audience and discovering what's possible when women choose to dream bigger.

That's why our WEDO Foundation exists.

Join us on November 13, 2026, at the United Nations in New York City—or attend virtually from anywhere in the world.

Reserve your seat or make a tax-deductible donation at joinWEDO.org.

Because the next Juliette Coley is out there right now.

Let's make sure she gets the opportunity to shine.

One idea became a $475 MILLION exit in just 18 months –

Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) / KNOWS WHY!

That's exactly what happened when 5X Unicorn Founder John Osher created the SpinBrush and sold it to Procter & Gamble for $475 million—which IS the #1 case study at Harvard Business School!

And that's just one of his wins.

John also created Cap Toys (home of Stretch Armstrong and Spin Pop), built a baby products company acquired by Ge**er, and founded multiple companies that generated well over $1 BILLION in value!

At our exclusive WEDO Members gathering, John shared the mindset behind building category-defining companies, spotting opportunities others miss, and staying relentless when everyone else says "NO."

His biggest lesson?

"If there is a WILL, there is a WAY."

Simple. Powerful. True.

The entrepreneurs who change the world aren't always the smartest in the room—they're the ones who refuse to quit.

John also shared what he's excited about next: founders solving real problems, creating products people genuinely love, and building companies that make everyday life better.

A huge thank you to the incredible supporters of our foundation who make experiences like this possible.

Because of you, WEDO members gain access to game-changing founders, investors, innovators, and opportunities while helping empower disadvantaged women and girls in their entrepreneurial journeys!

This wasn't just another networking event.

It was a masterclass in thinking bigger.

Behind every woman who dares to dream, there's often a father who told her she could. Happy Father's Day to the dads, father figures, and allies who champion women every day — in boardrooms, living rooms, and everywhere in between. 💙

Freedom wasn't given.

It was demanded, fought for, and finally recognized on June 19th, 1865.

Juneteenth is a reminder that liberation doesn't wait for permission.

Neither does entrepreneurship.

The women building businesses today carry that same spirit — the audacity to create something where others said nothing was possible.

Honor the history. Build the future.

👇 Comment DREAM and we'll send you our list of 25+ certified CPG investors actively backing emerging consumer brands.

Drop a 💸 if you've ever wondered where the right funding partner might be hiding.

Most breakthrough brands don't start with unlimited capital.

They start with one founder, one product, and one person willing to believe in the vision.

That's what investors can do.

Not just provide funding—provide momentum.

And women entrepreneurs deserve access to the same rooms, relationships, and resources that help brands scale.

Because the next category-defining company might already exist.

It might be yours. 💛

this June 19 | Billion-Dollar Lessons for Women Founders with John Osher
Private Residence | New York City

Join us for an intimate evening with John Osher, one of America’s most successful serial entrepreneurs, investor, inventor, and a true ally to women founders.

John has built and sold multiple companies to Procter & Gamble, Hasbro, and Ge**er for more than $1 billion. He is best known for creating SpinBrush, the battery-powered toothbrush that became the #1 selling toothbrush in America before its acquisition by Procter & Gamble. His companies have also created iconic products including Stretch Armstrong, Spin Pop, and numerous household brands used by millions worldwide.

What makes this especially meaningful to me is that John grew up just one mile from where I grew up in Ohio. His journey from humble beginnings to billion-dollar exits is proof that extraordinary success can come from anywhere.

If you are a founder, investor, executive, or aspiring entrepreneur, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from someone who has repeatedly built, scaled, and exited category-defining companies.

Most importantly, your participation helps support the mission of the Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO), empowering women and girls through entrepreneurship, education, mentorship, and economic opportunity in 144 countries.

WOOHOO! Our foundation hosted hashtag x House of Vanderbilt brought together founders, investors, philanthropists, and changemakers for an unforgettable evening in New York City! THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) / !

Here's why it matters:

Over the next 20 years, an estimated $84 TRILLION dollars will change hands in the largest wealth transfer in history!

The real question: Will women be part of creating that wealth—or simply watching it happen?

A huge thank you to Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Founder of House of Vanderbilt, entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, for sharing her vision for the future. Consuelo recently launched House of Vanderbilt, her family office focused on investing in and supporting exceptional founders, and has sold a television series based on the legendary Vanderbilt family legacy. Most exciting of all, she is actively looking to connect with and support women entrepreneurs building the next generation of great companies.

Our foundation’s mission began after learning that 388 million women and girls worldwide live in poverty. Today, WEDO is active in 144 countries, empowering women through entrepreneurship, education, mentorship, access to capital, and economic opportunity.

Every connection made, founder supported, and opportunity created helps move us closer to a world where women are not just participants in the economy—but leaders shaping it!

The room was filled with people who aren't waiting for the future—they're building it.

The conversations, connections, and opportunities created that evening WILL impact lives, businesses, and families for generations to come.

This is why WEDO exists. This is why community matters. This is why showing up matters!

The next generation of women founders, investors, and wealth creators is already here.

The only question is: Will you be in the room next time?!
