Who we are

We support women entrepreneurs in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

To recognize the importance and impact of women entrepreneurs on our city, SCORE NYC founded New York Women in Business (NYWIB) in 2016 to provide support.

New York City has more women-owned businesses than any other city in the U.S. Women own more than 40% of businesses in NYC. And, these women-owned businesses grow as much as four times faster than those owned by men. For additional insights about women business owners, see Articles and Facts about Women in Business  in our resource library.

We have evolved into a community supporting personal and professional success for women that spans non-profits, city government and national women’s professional organizations. Now, as businesses face the pandemic, they are tapping into our resources for guidance and leaning on our community for support throughout their reopening and start-up journeys. We continuously seek and share helpful content about grants, loans, and how to sustain a business and your health in tough times.
