How Investing In Women Came to be...

  Investing In Women was created by Leah Oviedo, a successful business owner in Encinitas, CA.   She has a background in website design and owns a  retail business, Mercado del Mundo.  Coming from a family of successful women business owners she wanted to give back and support other women business owners. 

  IIW started in the spring of 2008 with a few pages of business resources and a blog celebrating women.

  Realizing that she could accomplish more by collaborating with other business owners, Leah opened the official website in February of 2009. Since then visitors to the site have doubled every month, the blog has become more popular and a monthly newsletter was received by over 100 women and men the first month. 

  Over 50 business owners have submitted valuable resources and articles to create a rich resource of business tools and advice for other small business owners.

 We encourage you to share this website with your network. As more people learn about Investing In Women,  we will be able to offer several micro-grants each year to deserving business owners.
