About Venture Mom

VentureMom.com was founded by Holly Hurd to help women start their own businesses. By profiling what other women have done, the site provides inspiration and ideas. Most of the women covered on the site have become entrepreneurs with little to no startup capital and no formal business plan.

In her free weekly newsletter and on her blog, Holly profiles female founders and how each got started. Each story works to show women around the country that they too can start a successful business.

The site works in three ways. First, it guides women to an idea by seeing what other women have done. Then VentureMom provides exposure and promotion for female founded businesses. Thirdly, the VentureMomPinkBook Directory allows others to find you while amplifying your brand to a large affluent community. You don’t have to be a mom to be a VentureMom: “Your Business is Your Baby” and anyone who has a business knows that much is true.
