INVESTING RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL IN WOMEN-LED HEALTHCARE STARTUPS

Women Startup Leaders Transforming Health Care

The WBL Fellows Program links women CEOs, entrepreneurs, and founders of young healthcare startups to WBL’s high-powered community of women healthcare executives so they can take their leadership and business to the next level.

The WBL Fellows Program offers a super concentrated WBL experience with immediate relational power: the most potent form of business acceleration.

The WBL Fellows Program is for women-led startups pursuing innovative and scalable ventures. It is a natural next step after business incubation, initial funding rounds, early-stage “traditional” business accelerators, or for those who are in the process of commercializing and need a relationship boost.

Opportunity is around every corner.

From in-person gatherings with hundreds of WBL members to one-on-one meetings with advisors, WBL Fellows experience the power of our network’s relationship capital over 6 months of networking, education, and strategic visibility.
