Women Rocked Entrepreneurship Week

November 9, 2021

UAF Center ICE held two events, as part of its ICE Jam series celebrating the 8th Women Entrepreneurship Week led by Montclair State University.

The ICEJam events highlighted women entrepreneurs in Alaska. The first event was held on Oct.18 with Elevated Oats and Pandere Shoes talking about their journey and growth as startup companies in Alaska. The second event on October 20 featured Barati Medical and BeCool Pharmaceutics describing their developments in growing a business in Alaska.

Listening to the leads from these four companies, we heard about what inspired them to start a business, what aspects surprised them the most, what was the best piece of advice given to them, and how the Alaskan entrepreneurial community can support them as they move forward.

For anyone interested to listen to their inspiring stories, you can find the recordings at the Center ICE Youtube Channel
