Increasing the Pipeline of Women in Entrepreneurship: Hass/UC Berkley, George Washington and Syracuse.
Developed in 2011 by Springworks and piloted at Haas/UC Berkeley, WE-Generation (WE-Gen) is a growing community of next generation women interested in entrepreneurship who actively work together to learn, support, and inspire.
Using a campus based chapter model, participating students develop a charter for how they are organized that best fits their interests and Universities. The leaders of each University's WE Gen chapter, in coordination with their members, create and run programs that will help their entrepreneurial aspirations.
Each chapter is meant to not only be a beacon for on campus women entrepreneurs but to provide them with a voice to affect other more established innovation/entrepreneur programs where women have been underrepresented.
In addition to traditional peer collaboration, the We Generation structure encourages “generational linking”, which combines the eagerness, passion and capability of the next generation of women entrepreneurs with the wealth of experience from professional women who are leaders in the innovation economy.
