ABOUT US
We want to celebrate the creativity, passion and power that each woman brings to her business and to the world. We want Bossladies to encourage other women to continue following their dreams of entrepreneurship, and sharing their unique voices with others.The main goal of Bossladies is to foster a trusted community for women entrepreneurs to exchange best business practices and experiences, and to share their knowledge and network with one another.
OUR MISSION
At Bossladies, the word WE is extremely important. We care for each other, we support each other and we cheer for each other. We want each member have the same love and passion supporting the BL community, as they bring to their own businesses. In our community, there is no space for competition amongst one another, only support, guidance, and knowledge-sharing. Our aim is to give back to one another, to enrich our industries, and to provide a safe space for other female entrepreneurs.
OUR STRUCTURE
In order to keep our group of entrepreneurs active, dynamic, and effective, we limit memberships to around 30 individuals. Membership dues help facilitate our events by showcasing expert speakers, providing delicious food and drink, and hosting at beautiful locations. All members are invited to six events per year at no additional cost, ranging from speakers and panels, cultural events, workshops, and networking aperos, and quarterly Think Tank roundtables. Events are often small and limited to 20-30 people, in order to guarantee the quality of the experience, and the ability to foster strong connections within the group. However, we also co-sponsor larger events in and around Zürich with fellow entrepreneurial and other female-focused organizations from time to time.
SPONSORSHIP
We also work with different sponsors who contribute in a variety of ways. They may offer their expertise as a speaker or panelist, their space to host an event, or their products in the form of drinks, meals, and or other gifts to our members. If you are interested in sponsoring one of our events, please contact us here.
HOW TO JOIN
We have an evolving group of active members and slots open up every year for new people to join. We keep the membership at around 30 individuals to ensure that events are intimate and close connections can be made. If you are interested in joining Bossladies, reach out to us via info@bossladieszurich.ch.
As a first step, a potential new member is invited to attend an event as a guest of a current member, so you can meet us in person, get a feel for our events, and see if the community is good fit for you. After attending the event, you can submit a New Member Application, which will be reviewed by the board. Upon acceptance, you will be asked to pay the yearly membership fee, then you're all set!
New members receive a welcome letter, are introduced at the next event, have their businesses promoted on our Instagram, and are added to our community page with a photo, title, and social media links.
