Helping founders find community and connections
Through a competitive selection process, a group of women entrepreneurs are selected to “incubate” their business at the Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI), in a technologically advanced environment, designed to foster business growth and sustainability. Through an ecosystem of educational resources, access to funding assistance, and mentorship, the women entrepreneurs will grow their businesses over the course of 15 months, and then transition the business back into Atlanta at the end of that period.
The project works to expose new audiences, particularly in rural and Black communities, to AI manufacturing, allowing for the exploration of ideas, careers, and entrepreneurship in a growing, high-demand sector. The Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE), in close partnership with the University of Georgia, KITTLABS, and Technologists of Color, is engaging its network to develop and deploy the Georgia AIM Mobile Studio.
