This is, with permission, an open thread/clearinghouse for sharing resources on starting or operating businesses or investing.
I believe very strongly that women need to take control of as much economic power as we can, through starting businesses, investing, etc. But although I have run my own business, I have, like many women, I think, been too caught up in domestic issues, especially child rearing, to really research or take advantage of the opportunities that are available.
I have been meaning to start this thread for a while now, and checked with admin a month or so ago, but I wanted to do a very thorough research job first, so I delayed. Now that Ovarit will be closing, I want to get something up, even if it’s not flawless.
I will create some starter categories and add information as I find it, and I invite you to join me in listing as many resources as you can, both general information on starting businesses and investing, and women-specific resources. I hope this will be helpful, even in the short time we have left.
I am in the US, so the information I share will automatically be US-centric, but please feel free to add sub-categories for other countries.
How to Invest and Other Financial Resources
(I know absolutely nothing about investing, so I will could really use help with this one)
