Supporters

With your support from business and community partners who all care deeply about advancing opportunities for women leaders and founders, we can strengthen the next generation of courageous, creative leaders who will change the world — in business and beyond.

The barriers women face in business — whether cultural, financial or personal — limit the opportunities and the potential of too many future leaders. The KS WELI was built to overcome these barriers and grow the number of women-owned and women-led businesses.

KS WELI was launched in Fall 2019 thanks to funding from Kendra Scott, Kendra Scott, LLC, and founding technology sponsor, Dell Technologies. As the KS WELI strengthens and expands, additional philanthropic support will bolster our co-curricular and curricular programming – elevating UT Austin as the preeminent national model in women’s entrepreneurial leadership.

With your help and support from company partners and individuals who all care deeply about advancing opportunities for women leaders, we can strengthen the next generation leaders together.
