Creating More Funding, Influence,
& Women-Led Companies

Octane Non-Profit Accelerator First Cohort

Women Leaders of Octane

The purpose of Women Leaders of Octane (WLO) is to grow the strength and impact of the OC innovation ecosystem by increasing the ranks of women entrepreneurs and business leaders, access to funding, and more influence on Boards, fueled by Octane networks and resources.
Women remain underrepresented among entrepreneurs. This problem extends to the amount of funding given to women entrepreneurs and those who are elevated to the C-Suite. Women Leaders of Octane exists to advocate for women’s position in the workforce.

WLO meets virtually every quarter. Sign up on the form below to get involved!

We are growing the innovation ecosystem by increasing women entrepreneurs & leaders’ access to funding & influence on Boards.
