About Springboard Enterprises
Venture-catalyst Springboard Enterprises is the premier platform where influencers, investors and innovators meet to help women build ‘big businesses starting small’. Springboard sources, coaches, showcases and supports women-led growth companies seeking equity capital for product development and expansion.

Over 500 women-led companies have gone through Springboard's accelerator programs; they have raised more than $5.6 billion in financing, have created tens of thousands of new jobs, and generate billions of dollars in annual revenues. More than 80% of Springboard companies are still in business, including 10 IPOs and many that are now the technology engines of publicly traded companies.

Springboard's mission is an unwavering dedication to:

  • Accelerating women entrepreneurs' participation in the private equity capital markets
  • Educating women entrepreneurs on the sources and uses of capital available for growing companies
  • Increasing the involvement of women in the private equity markets
  • Promoting the success and impact of the members of the Springboard Trust
