The impact of the program overall is enabling my firm to scale effectively. All three courses were targeted at a high level for drivers that provide metrics for success. The WBENC-Tuck program is a highly recommended program any Woman Founder should incorporate in her growth strategy.

The WBENC Tuck CAPSTONE program was invaluable to me. There were many AHA moments that directly related to my business. The teachers were FANTASTIC and provided thought provoking insights. The speakers from IBM were down to earth, relatable, and motivational. WBENC personnel fostered a truly caring, supportive environment to help make connections and camaraderie that I believe will be long lasting. The program is a motivational GAME CHANGER. It's a MUST attend program for women owned businesses looking for learning, support, and connections with like-minded entrepreneurs.
