About WECS

WECS was created to support women who aspire to build meaningful and successful enterprises. Women entrepreneurs bring creativity, resilience, local knowledge and innovative solutions to the economy. However, many women continue to face barriers related to information, finance, market access, networks, confidence, technology and business support.

WECS works to bridge these gaps through practical programmes, expert guidance, peer learning, mentorship and strategic partnerships.

Our approach is simple: understand where an entrepreneur is today, identify what she needs next and help her take the next step.

From aspiring entrepreneurs and first-time founders to established business owners and growth-oriented enterprises, WECS creates opportunities for women to learn, connect, grow and lead.

Our Vision & Mission

A strong, inclusive and sustainable economy where every woman has the opportunity, resources and confidence to build and grow an enterprise.

Women in Entrepreneurship, founded by a group of ambitious women at Michigan State University, aims to inspire and empower women from all backgrounds to pursue entrepreneurship. We believe that entrepreneurship transcends majors, genders, and races, integrating diverse talents to develop successful ventures. Our team supports women and innovation through transparent discussions and ideas, striving to change how the professional world views women, especially the young pioneers, inventors, and leaders of our future
