Each month, the Rural Women in Entrepreneurship group inside the Startup Colorado Community comes together for a virtual hour of connection. March’s co-host will be Lauren Czaplicki, founder of Fungal Solutions- Wildfire Ltd!
This hour is casual, fun, and easy to drop into. We talk about what we’re currently working on, share our stories, and pool our resources to help each other get to that ‘next step’ on the long entrepreneurial road ahead.
The format is simple:
- 15–20 minute talk from our co-host
- Rounds of 1:1 connections with other community members
- Come and meet fellow women entrepreneurs from all over the state to discuss current topics and trends in business
Free and open to all Colorado women working in business and business support.
About Lauren:
Lauren Czaplicki is an entrepreneur and founder of Fungal Solutions – Wildfire Ltd., a wildfire mitigation and land resilience company serving Southwest Colorado. She launched her business to challenge the status quo of “cut and burn” fire mitigation by developing water-wise, living fire barrier systems that convert woody debris into soil, upcycling flammable woodchips into fire barriers, erosion control features, and passive irrigation systems that strengthen landscapes over time.
Lauren works primarily with 5–35 acre landowners and HOAs, coordinating strategic thinning and implementing fungal fuels treatments that reduce risk while enhancing property value. Her work blends science, contracting, and ecological design and reflects her passion for building innovative, mission-driven businesses in traditionally male-dominated industries. Her background is in Environmental Engineering and this is her second company.
