Ex-Apprentice Hauncho and Yahoo! Believe in Women Online Biz Owners
If you’ve got a business idea or if you are running your own company and could use an injection of cash you’ll like this announcement.
Carolyn Kepcher, former VP at Donald Trump’s company and his former on-air sidekick on the show “The Apprentice” recently announced on behalf of Yahoo! Small Business enterprises the launch of a new grant program to promote women’s entrepreneurship enabled by the Internet.
The program is called “Seeds for Success: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs” and it will award 3 women entrepreneurs with business grants including cash, mentorship and technical services valued at more than $25,000 each.
Interested entrepreneurs can apply online by clicking here. The deadline for applications is April 6 and winners will be announced at the end of April.
For you internet marketers out there, take note that Yahoo! and Carolyn are particularly interested in women entrepreneurs who have built their success using the Internet or are planning on launching a business that will be dependent upon the Internet for success.
If you’re not sure how to work the Internet into your business refer to my earlier post that provided links to a number of websites that offer exceptional information (some of it FREE) about how to launch an internet based business.
Good luck!
I absolutley love this effort that Yahoo, and Kepcher are aiming for. Growth in female small business owners is a wonderful declaration to how far women have come in the business world. There are so many opportunities for women to start their own companies and projects that technology wouldn’t have supported 30 years ago. It’s really exciting to be a part of the business developments that technology and the media are able to support throughout the past 2 decades, especially throughout internet development. My favorite new web venture to help kick start small businesses that I can’t talk up enough is Microsoft’s Office Live Small Business, which gathers all necessary resources entrepreneurs need for web presence and business management. It’s so simple and easy to use; you will be amazed how your business will grow with their web application. It would be a mistake not to check out http://smallbusiness.officelive.com for further info. I’m always here to spread helpful info,I work with Microsoft so don’t hesitate to ask!
Thank you Carolyn Kepcher for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Woman Business Owners need to come together and help one another accomplish their dreams. Sharing knowledge and expertise is a much needed companion when starting and operating new businesses.
Many Thanks to Yahoo, supporter of helping Woman accomplish their dreams. Seeds for Success-Empowering Woman Entrepreneurs is going to be a blessing for who ever wins the grants. Opportunities and mentoring support very much needed.
Thanks Carolyn & Yahoo…..Carolyn if a person does not win the grant, can they still mentor with you? It would be my pleasure to be able to business talk with you. Can you please advise?
