Pros
WSLAB is single handedly the best thing that happened to me during my entrepreneurial journey. I’m very thankful for such a wonderful opportunity. WSLAB is a different kind of accelerator. They don’t have all of the answers; they don’t meddle in your business or tell you how to go about launching your first marketing campaign. What the team at WSLAB has perfected, is giving you the tools to handle all of the above and more. This accelerator focuses on the ONE thing that matters most in running a business – YOU! The female entrepreneur! If you’re open and willing, the program can be quite transformative.
The program was challenging, scary, emotional, uncomfortable, and is not meant for everyone. I was broken down to the core, but then emerged as a whole new woman and CEO when I completed the program. I had to declare my strengths and let go of my weaknesses. WSLAB makes you deal with the real sh*t that’s going on in your life – past and present. The program forces you to focus on, and overcome, the personal issues that hold you back from true greatness, so they don’t show up later on when you’re raising money, building a product, or going through an acquisition.
I left the program stronger, more focused, and open to the greatness that lies ahead of me – all while having a new and deeply connected ‘family’ in San Francisco. I truly understood and accepted the role I have taken on. Not only am I a CEO, but I am a FOUNDER – I am the seed that started this life cycle and I have learned that if you do not love thyself and do the work, the cycle will be a short one.
I challenge every female founder to invest in herself. There are many programs for personal growth, however, WSLAB is truly unique and I am proud to have been a part of the 4th Cohort: ‘The A-hoy Ladies!’
Cons
The program could have been 3 weeks instead of 2... I didn't want to leave!
