Get inspired for the week ahead with Rebecca Minkoff.
New York-based designer Rebecca Minkoff touched down in Toronto earlier this week for her first event in the city under the banner of Female Founder Collective , an organization she founded to help support women-owned businesses. In partnership with VISA’s She’s Next program, the Collective co-hosted a day of workshops, panels and expert guidance for Toronto’s female entrepreneurs.
“What really drove the decision to launch the Collective was the lack of representation for female-founded companies being seen as thought leaders or examples of entrepreneurship,” Minkoff toldat the event. As someone who launched her own label at the age of 25 , Minkoff has seen first-hand the struggles female entrepreneurs face. Her own biggest challenge? “Access to capital. Being taken seriously. Not being looked at as a trend or a flash in the pan.
We sat down with Minkoff to chat about the importance of global, female-focused networks like the Female Founder Collective, the things she’s learned in her own journey, and her advice for female businesses owners. I think the idea of persisting, of having staying power, has been always a North Star for me. On the days when you feel like you just want to throw in the towel, to think ‘okay, I can keep going, I can keep doing this.’
