Opportunities for Women-Owned Businesses in Greater DMV

"I applied to the Sage Program to maximize my learning opportunities to align my company with Fortune 500 companies. I learned significant business strategies that had previously eluded me, just by being unaware. Specifically, the science behind understanding what makes for sound operations, smart funding, time management, and building a solid team.
 
I overcame challenges of gaining access to several major retail brands to introduce my coffee. As a result of the connections in the Sage program, I was able to be directly introduced and meet with significant brands I had previously been unsuccessfully targeting."

"The SAGE Program has been ideal for us in a time like this where things are changing so fast. Creating a Budget has given me a better insight to understanding the essence of growing the business. The program offered me the ability to network with other small businesses and to understand that indeed with all the challenges, WE ARE NOT ALONE. Others who join the program in the future will be granted the same opportunity, to think about new ways of improving their businesses."

"Today, our company has received the WBEC DMV Star Award, the Done Deals Award, and we are honored to be partnering with WBEC DMV and several companies to provide capability uplift in sustainability.

If you are hesitating to invest in certification, I encourage to think again. It’s one of the most valuable decisions I’ve made as a business owner."
