A top event for female entrepreneurs

I've sat through a lot of female entrepreneur events: fluorescent lights, a keynote about "believing in yourself” and that deeply cursed icebreaker where a stranger asks what you do and you both slowly die inside.

Not this one.

This was built for women who are already in it. Already running the business, already signing the payroll, already lying awake at 2am doing math in their heads. This wasn't for someday-maybe dreamers (love them, different room). This was for founders who are scaling, hiring, and trying to figure out how to grow without setting their own peace on fire.

Here's the twist: everyone walked in for the strategy, the tactics, the scaling playbooks.

Then somewhere around hour two, the whole room realized that's not why they were there.

Because a good tactic is a dime a dozen. You can Google a marketing funnel; but what you can't Google is the moment you finally believe in yourself enough to do the damn thing.

So that's where we went. Confidence, being seen and growth from the inside out. And some of the most ride-or-die friendships I've watched form in real time.

Here's the number I keep staring at: our NPS was 88. (80 is world-class.)

If you don't live in metrics, just trust me, that's bananas. That's the score that had me sitting on my bedroom floor afterward, ugly-crying a little. It means the Summit didn't just land. It changed something.

The room itself was my favorite part. Seven and eight-figure founders sitting next to women who launched six weeks ago. Female CEOs trading notes with total beginners. A handful of women who aren't even entrepreneurs yet, who just wanted to know what it feels like to be surrounded by women who are already doing it. Honestly, it's what I'd call one of the best networking events for female entrepreneurs anywhere in Western Canada, and I'm not just saying that because I built it.

That's the magic. You look around a room like that and realize you're standing in the middle of a quiet force nobody's been paying attention to.

For years, ambitious women, from just-starting-out to eight figures, have been searching for a female founder network, a female CEO conference, a room built for exactly where they are. So we built it.

There's a real gap for women wherever they actually are, not just the ones celebrating the hustle, but the ones who need a space that respects the work and protects the woman doing it. Call it a mastermind for high-revenue female founders, call it a women's leadership summit, call it a business retreat for women entrepreneurs, the label matters less than the fact that it finally exists.

The Pink Skirt Project was never meant to be a one-day sugar high. It's a women's business gala on the outside and a real scaling summit for female CEOs on the inside, plus a community that keeps going long after the pink skirt comes off the stage. 

This is THE event for women scaling businesses, the one I always wished existed.

So, now what?

If you were there: thank you. You made this magical and I will never, ever be normal about it.

If you missed it and you're feeling that little pang of FOMO, good. Use it. That pang is your intuition telling you that you belong in a room like this one.

Get on the list so you hear everything first, the next Summit, the Society, all of it. The women who move early are always the ones who end up on that stage.

I'm still pinching myself. I still can't believe we pulled this off. And I already can't wait to do it again.

Yeah, sister. Let's go.
