The Brown Ribbon Story
We understand the challenges—bias, funding gaps, and lack of support—because we’ve faced them too. To overcome these, we began by exchanging our own services. As our network grew
beyond iMessages and email threads, we built Brown Ribbon Exchange: a platform where women entrepreneurs can come together and trade their expertise.
Here, every woman’s unique skill is a “gift” she can share, creating a supportive exchange. Like a ribbon wrapping a gift,
Brown Ribbon ties together the value each member offers and receives, moving us all forward, together.
