Wave Women
Entrepreneurs Forum
The Tampa Bay Wave Women’s Forum is a dedicated effort within the nationally-recognized Accelerator program designed to empower, support and learn from Tampa women entrepreneurs and business executives.
These forums include Tampa women entrepreneurs seeking coaching and support from other women entrepreneurs and business leaders
The time together is facilitated by our program director and carefully structured to promote the optimal environment for problem solving and mentorship. Our group consists of women startup entrepreneurs with a new technology business or concept alongside seasoned women coaches. To create balance, our goal is to have equal number of entrepreneurs to advisors.

Forum Structure
Groups meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month from noon to 1:30 PM at the Tampa Bay Wave Conference Room. Each meeting is facilitated by our program director using a proven roundtable approach focused on solving real-life problems.
Entrepreneurs will present a current challenge in their business. All forum members have the opportunity to ask questions to clarify the situation or learn more.
Each forum member offers their own advice, one by one. The presenting entrepreneur shares items she’d like to activate based on the discussion and must report back at the next forum.
Criteria for Consideration
WOMEN TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURS
Tampa Bay women technology startup founders, co-founders and executives focused on their startup full time or in have a planned transaction from full time employment to their startup.
LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS
Local women executives or business owners with Relevant expertise in a particular specialty. We prefer not to have two of the same field of advisors in the group.
Veteran
