Owning The Block: Women Build the Block

Helping women entrepreneurs to identify growth barriers, access capital, connect to resources, and learn through live business case study Owning the Block: Women Build the BlockYou built something real. You deserve access to the capital, contracts, property, relationships, and opportunities that can help it grow. On Tuesday, October 20 at Aggie Square, InvestorFy and co-host Jamie Ganly will bring women entrepreneurs together for a practical evening recognizing National Women’s Small Business Month and focused on the real decisions that shape business growth. You know your business. The challenge is often finding the right capital, customer, partner, space, contract, or resource at the right time. This is not another panel, pitch fest, or networking event that leaves you with more business cards than direction. Together, we will focus on helping attendees: • Clarify the opportunity in front of them • Identify the barriers affecting growth • Connect with resources aligned with their stage • Leave with a stronger path forward The evening will also feature a live case study examining how a woman-led business moved from local growth into larger and international markets. We will explore the real decisions behind that journey—including capacity, financial readiness, partnerships, timing, risk, and the preparation required to pursue meaningful growth. The session will feature support from the Women’s Business Center at California Capital, connecting attendees with practical education, counseling, technical assistance, and continued resources. Small businesses create the culture, identity, and energy that make neighborhoods worth investing in. Yet when outside investment arrives, the businesses that created that value are often overlooked, priced out, or left without a stake in what comes next. Women who help build the block should have the opportunity to own, grow, and benefit from its future. Women are at the center of this evening. Men who buy from, hire, mentor, finance, invest in, and advocate for women-owned businesses are encouraged to attend. Your business already has value. This room is about helping you build on it.
