Project W

    •  
An initiative of the law firm DWT, Project W offers a series of accelerator programs for female founders, organizes affinity groups for women professionals, and partners with like-minded organizations to help women scale great companies and elevate their careers.

Our Mission

Project W is on a mission to help women succeed. We aim to fundamentally change the status quo – increasing the number of women leading their fields.

We do this by helping women entrepreneurs scale great companies and helping women executives take their place in the C-suite and the boardroom. Project W also partners with innovative, like-minded organizations across the country, through our national network of entrepreneurs, investors, and business executives.

We believe passionately in a future where women have access to funding for their companies, are paid well and fairly in the workplace, and rise to positions of power in their respective fields. At Project W, we are fiercely committed to making that future a reality.
