Los Angeles, CA - Entreprenista x Industrious
Los Angeles, it's time to bring your network offline. Kellie Chen, Co-Founder of 8Rue, and Carlyn Bushman, Founder of Carlyn Bushman Consulting, are inviting you to join an intimate, curated gathering at Industrious Century City, where ambitious entrepreneurs who are serious about growth come together in person.
If you're a woman business owner who is ready to connect with peers who match your drive and momentum, this is the room for you. Come ready to swap insights, explore collaborations, and build relationships with fellow founders who are operating at your level.
What is the Entreprenista League?
The Entreprenista League is a thriving community of 4,000+ women founders from across the country who are building businesses, supporting one another, and showing up for each other, both online and in person, just like this! Local Meetups are one of the many ways our members bring the community to life in their own cities.
Members, feel free to bring along a fellow founder friend to join in the fun! We ask that each registrant responds here for an accurate headcount. Please note this event has a 50-attendee limit.
