Small Business Growth Reimagined
The Reimagine Women's Center in collaboration with our registered 501(c)3 nonprofit 'RWC Real Women Connecting' provides a home where the spirit of entrepreneurship lives and thrives. Our mission is to connect, empower, invest, and transform communities through business ownership.
Our vision is to ensure that women and girls have a safe place to transform their ideas, receive opportunities, and explore their creativity to maximize their personal and business potential.
Collaborations Reimagined
Located in Louisiana's Capital City of North Baton Rouge. The Reimagine Women's Center provides a safe, innovative space for small business collaborations. The 10,400 square foot business resource and innovation hub has training rooms, day workspace, co-working space, conference rooms,
a podcast studio, and a high tech think-tank bunker.
Investments Reimagined
According to American Express, the potential of women entrepreneurs for spurring economic growth has not been fully realized. That's why RWC is investing in women-owned companies! We are working to create the "REIMAGINE REVOLVING RESERVE FUND." Fund-R3 will assist women-owned companies by identifying seed funding, private investments, partnering for grant opportunities, and access to "pull through" capital within the revolving reserve fund.
