🚀 Ready to Fund Your Business in 2025?
TL;DR: Unlock funding, meet key deadlines, and hit your 2025 business goals with our new bootcamp!
Laura Texidor
January 04, 2025
Happy New Year, we hope you had an amazing holiday season, because 2025 is already filled with opportunities to grow your business and we’re excited to help you get there 🔥🔥🔥
In fact, when we left our careers as traders and investors to launch our own business, we thought our financial experience would make things easy.
Spoiler alert – it didn’t.
Despite knowing the markets, we faced the same uphill battle as many women entrepreneurs when it came to securing funding. (Bc less than 2% of women even get VC funding).
We know how frustrating that can be. And we don’t want other women to spend years learning the hard way like we did.
After applying to hundreds of grants, pitch competitions, and exploring every funding avenue imaginable, we’ve distilled everything we’ve learned into a no-fluff crash course – the one we wish we had from day one.
We want to offer it to you first, our newsletter readers. In small, hands-on groups, you’ll:
Understand all the funding options (VCs, grants, loans – and which actually work for you).
Build a solid personal and business financial roadmap.
Craft and deliver a pitch that gets attention.
Connect with other driven entrepreneurs tackling the same challenges. This isn’t just another workshop – it’s your step-by-step guide to funding your business with clarity and confidence.

🚀 What Are Your Business Goals for 2025?
Let’s be honest, setting goals is the easy part. Sticking to them? That’s where things get tricky. We set wicked ambitious targets at the start of the year, but we forget to check in or adjust as things evolve. Here are a few tips that have helped us stay on track (and actually hit those goals):
Quarterly Check-Ins – Set reminders on your calendar to review your goals every 3 months. What’s working? What’s not? Adjust accordingly.
Break It Down – Big goals can feel overwhelming. Break them into smaller, weekly milestones to keep the momentum going.
Accountability Partner – Share your goals with a mentor, fellow business owner, or even in our community. Accountability boosts follow-through.
Celebrate Small Wins – Progress is progress, no matter how small. Take time to celebrate! What are your biggest goals for 2025? Hit reply and let us know – we’d love to cheer you on!

In Abundance,
