So impressed by Ashlyn Greer's drive and thoughtfulness as she scales Fashivly. We are so proud to have her in our LaunchCLT community!
🙋🏻♀️ Meet Ashlyn Greer — Founder & CEO of Fashivly and a total powerhouse in the gWen community. Ashlyn is scaling Fashivly, a styling-tech platform that's changing the way people get dressed—and doing it all from right here in the Southeast. Her take on gWen? "If you’re a female entrepreneur, gWen is the network to know. We’ve made invaluable connections for our business directly from this group (and intros by the women in it), but more than anything it’s about knowing you aren’t alone." She said it best: everything’s here—peers, mentorship, real feedback, and events that actually move the needle. Oh, and did we mention she took home the $50,000 prize at last year’s Big Pitch at Seed The South?! Yep. She's a baddie. 🔥 We’re proud to have Ashlyn in the community. 💚 #FounderFeature #GrowWithgWen #FemaleFounder #SoutheastStartups #WomenInBusiness #Entrepreneur #Fashivly

Our LaunchCLT community is a lot smarter about the art of fundraising thanks to a morning with mentor and founder Charlotte Ketelaar! We are so grateful for her wisdom and her time. PS: check out her company Capwave AI — it's a game-changer for both founders and investors! Give her a 🙌 if you learned something today!

Thank you NC IDEA for the feature! ❤️ Many exciting updates to come very soon!
Working moms juggle a lot. Pumping shouldn’t add more stress. 👩🍼 🍼 #FounderFriday That’s why our 2024 #MICRO grantee, Erin Devine Martin, created Pump For Joy. Based out of #DavidsonNC, Erin and her team are launching the world’s first disposable breast milk collection kit membership—built for working moms who pump. Because washing pump parts in public sinks and relying on the "fridge hack" shouldn’t be part of the job description. Pump, toss, go make waves.
