For entrepreneurs

SWIBX is a thought incubator focused on encouraging more entrepreneurial risk-taking and ideation within the Stanford female population. SWIBX offers three areas of support for aspiring co-founders: workshops, network, and mentorship. Workshops will be centered around the startup process, focusing on brainstorming, prototyping, market research, pitching, execution, business modeling, funding, and more. Participants will grow their network through other entrepreneurial peers and speakers. SWIBX will also hold office hours, in which a top female venture capitalist, co-founder, or CEO will dedicate an hour to giving advice, support, and more. Ultimately, SWIBX is an open area for people to freely bounce ideas off of each other, take advantage of the resources we offer, and ultimately launch a venture or idea into the real world. Whether you are completely new to the startup ecosystem or already know a thing or two, SWIBX has something to offer.
