Strive Women: Her Business, Her Financial Future
Supporting women entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, confidence, resilience, and control.
Michael Miebach

“When small businesses thrive our local communities and economies thrive, but when they struggle, the impact is widespread. What small business owners need right now is partners who listen to them and develop innovative solutions that help them grow in the wake of the pandemic. That’s what makes programs like Strive so critical today and tomorrow.”
