Experience innovation in action at Minority Women Lead!

Each year, the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce and National ACE make space for visionary minority women at Minority Women Lead! This event gathers entrepreneurial women of color to celebrate their achievements and advance the next generation of minority women leaders. The 6th Annual Minority Women Lead was held on August 24, 2023, in the Silicon Valley, and featured a live pitch competition where a total of $20,000 in grant funding was awarded among five finalists. Follow us on social media to be the first to know about the 7th Annual Minority Women Lead in 2024!
