Rooted in Community. Built for Scale.
Funded by the SBA, CalOSBA, and GO-Biz, the California Women’s Business Centers Network (CA WBC) offers no-cost advising, practical training, access to capital, and mentorship tailored for women entrepreneurs across California.
With 21 centers serving 53 counties and 88% of rural ZIP codes, our reach is statewide—but our approach is deeply local. We meet entrepreneurs where they are—at farmers markets, libraries, coffee shops, or online.
CA WBCs are more than a network. We help side hustles grow into scalable companies and business ideas turn into lasting impact to advance economic equity across California. One success story at a time.
