Spirit of Entrepreneurship

Spirit of Entrepreneurship Spirit of Entrepreneurship is a program of Women's Economic Ventures that celebrates women and supports student entrepreneurship in SB and Ventura County

The Spirit of Entrepreneurship program supports entrepreneurship at all levels in Santa Barbara County. It does this by putting on the annual Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards event that it inspires student entrepreneurs with role models as well as cash prizes while honoring outstanding women entrepreneurs with non-monetary awards. The proceeds from the event go toward funding the student prizes.

Working with the Scheinfeld Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Santa Barbara City College, which selects the three student winners at both the high school level and City College level through their one-day business pitch competition, the Foundation provides the six winners with cash prizes to support their successful business plan. All the winning students and their teachers and/or parents attend the Awards dinner as guests of Spirit of Entrepreneurship. Using independent judges, SOE selects top women entrepreneurs in select categories to receive their prestigious Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards at the event and supports them with publicity and recognition throughout the following year.

👉🏼 Jenny Tucker became a mother in 2020.

It was then that she noticed the need for more support for new moms.

She said, “I created the Centerline Community to bring new moms together and provide them with the support and connection that is so needed in motherhood, especially early postpartum. I now facilitate workshops and support groups for new moms and really feel like my journey in community and crisis work, mindfulness, and mental health has led me to this new venture and I hope to be doing this work for a very long time!”
