The Social Impact Startup


Feb 28, 2022

Olivia Owens is the creator of IFundWomen of Color, the go-to funding resource for diverse, early-stage entrepreneurs.  IFundWomen of Color was created with their founding partner Caress to help diverse entrepreneurs bring their dreams into reality through raising capital via crowdfunding and providing grants, coaching, and the connections needed to launch and grow successful businesses.

 

In our conversation we discuss:

 

  • Why her purpose in life is to help people become a better version of themselves 
  • What sustainability, in terms of support, looks like for women of color entrepreneurs
  • Her #1 piece of advice for women looking to invest and build wealth
  • The questions to ask to figure out the need-movers for your business
  • And why living in a way that is authentic to us is the best way to add value to the world

 

Olivia is helping women re-write the story of what it means to build a successful business by helping them find not only alignment with their customers, but alignment within themselves and showing that “you never lose - you only learn”.
