WEBS was AWESOME!

The 7 WEBS winners from North Seattle College with Rayne, President of the Impactful Investing Club

On Feb. 1st, we had the Women Entrepreneurs Business Solutions (WEBS) competition and it was great! We co-hosted it again this year with the University of Washington at Founder's Hall in Foster's School for Business with Cera Laidlaw and while last year was fun, this year, we had three times as many participants, had winners from both UW and North Seattle College, and are absolutely doing it again next year!

In WEBS, we support women in the workplace by inviting women business founders to bring their real world business barriers to students, and to ask the students to come up with creative ideas. During the competition, students acted like consultants for these companies and had a range of industries to choose from, including AI in healthcare, artwork by Mexican artisans, and an environment-focused soil-science company.

The presentations were fantastic, the winners walked away with cash prizes, and everyone had the opportunity to network and connect with each other during a day of critical thinking skills and teamwork.

The Impactful Investing Club is proud to co-host the event each year, and we are honored to be part of such incredible impact on students and their educational growth.
