Rural Women in Entrepreneurship
Building community for women entrepreneurs across rural Colorado
The Rural Women in Entrepreneurship group is a monthly gathering that helps women grow their networks, share experiences, discover resources, and support one another in business and life.
OUR STORY
What started in August 2021 as a small virtual gathering called Women’s Lean Coffee has grown into a thriving community of women entrepreneurs across Colorado.
As the group evolved beyond the Lean Coffee format, so did its name. Rural Women in Entrepreneurship (RWE) better reflects the women who show up each month—rural entrepreneurs, founders, creatives, and business support leaders who come together to share ideas, resources, and encouragement.
Today, RWE monthly virtual meetups are a space to:
- Build meaningful connections
- Share stories and real-world challenges
- Exchange resources and opportunities
- Find inspiration and reduce the isolation of entrepreneurship
WHY THIS COMMUNITY EXISTS
Entrepreneurship can be isolating, especially in rural communities. RWE exists to change that for women.
This support group is designed to be a network for women across Colorado, where participants can:
- Grow their personal and professional networks
- Learn from other women navigating similar paths
- Access funding and business resources
- Show up authentically and be supported
