We’re on a mission to make North Dakota the best place for all to start a business.

SheStartsWeek began in 2019 in Fargo, ND, as a collaboration between Annie Capital, The Nice Center at NDSU & Emerging Prairie.
Since then, we grew to host over 90 events, 100+ speakers, 10 organizations and 2,000 attendees.
In 2023 we’re choosing to pivot to support women, year round. Check out our launch of this new model at Curiosity Week in Fargo, ND.

We Believe…

...representation matters.

...change has to be driven by many.

...female founders need bigger networks and access to expertise.

...intentional investment in underrepresented entrepreneurs results in a more inclusive community.
