Empowering women to start, operate, and grow businesses. WE NYC (Women Entrepreneurs NYC) is an initiative based out of the New York City Department of Small Business Services that is dedicated to helping women start and grow their businesses. When the WE NYC initiative was established, it was the first of its kind in a major American city to empower women to pursue entrepreneurship in a range of sectors, including retail trade, personal care services, and construction. WE NYC developed tailored programs and tools with women entrepreneurs through user testing and feedback to create an initiative that connects women entrepreneurs with the resources, education and community they need to thrive. Free services are available for Women Entrepreneurs across the five boroughs and in multiple languages.
