Elevating Women Through Community

Courtney and I met 14 years ago through a mutual friend and very quickly bonded over our love for social media. At the time, we were both working in corporate positions, and day-dreaming working towards something bigger, better that we could call our own.

Social media was still a newly emerging space — one that Courtney and myself were passionate about — and so we decided to start Socialfly, a New York-based social media agency focused on delivering strategic guidance and support for brands looking to build or grow their social media presence.

With both excitement and apprehension, we made the decision to leave our stable corporate positions and fully commit to our business, knowing that a leap like this would _{change everything} for us.

The early days of Socialfly were both exciting and scary. We were two women who had no prior experience running an agency. Early on, a fellow entrepreneur advised us to join a professional business group, and so we did, and that set the stage for our business journey and success.

As the years went on, through these groups, we not only scaled our agency to seven figures and have done over $40 million in cumulative revenue to date, but we also forged lasting friendships with fellow founders who have been integral to our journey.

As our business thrived, we found ourselves inundated with requests from women founders seeking advice and support. Realizing we physically couldn’t meet with everyone in person, we launched the Entreprenista Podcast in 2018. This platform allowed us to extend the reach of our impact and share valuable insights at scale.

In May 2021, we launched The Entreprenista League, in order to provide founders with all of the resources, community and support that we wish we had on day one of launching our first business over a decade ago. Our goal was to create a space where women founders could access valuable resources, form meaningful connections, and receive practical support.

As our community grew, we created even more opportunities for our members to have the access to visibility opportunities and in person retreats. This inspired us to create The Entreprenista 100, an awards program that _{honors and celebrates women founded businesses}.

We also introduced Founders Weekend, an in-person retreat to bring together our community to connect in person and build meaningful relationships. This event features panels, immersive experiences, and opportunities for collaboration, _{designed to deepen connections} and spark new ideas.
