Rent The Runway Launches Project Entrepreneur | Are You Going to Apply?

Have you heard the news??  Rent The Runway has launched a foundation called Project Entrepreneur!  It's all about being a woman and running your own show ... being a creative business owner who is creating your own path and being innovative!  

Here is an excerpt from their website:

Project Entrepreneur ignites bold ideas by providing women access to the tools, training and networks needed to build scalable, economically impactful companies. We’ll reach this goal through a multi-faceted national initiative that includes this robust digital hub, multi-city events, a venture competition, and a 5-week accelerator program.

Rent the Runway co-founders Jennifer Hyman and Jenny Fleiss – in partnership with UBS – are on a mission: to break traditional barriers in women’s paths and democratize the knowledge and resources necessary to build impactful ventures.

Having raised over $100 million in venture capital funding for Rent the Runway (which has 5 million members to date), Jenn and Jenny have revolutionized the fashion retail industry and want to encourage other women to establish their own disruptive businesses.

Women start companies at a rate 1.5 times the national average but account for less than 10 percent of founders at high-growth firms*; while the passion and talent clearly exists, barriers stand in the way of women maximizing the economic significance of their efforts. That’s where Project Entrepreneur comes in.
