2022 Brainchild Fund Galentine's Showcase

On February 10th, the Brainchild Fund celebrated six Wisconsin women entrepreneurs at our 2nd annual virtual Galentine's Showcase. We are so proud and excited to report that, thanks to events like the Showcase, we have now raised more than $6,000 towards our mission of supporting women in business and entrepreneurship.

We were humbled and inspired by hearing these six women tell their stories, which made it extra special for us to be able to award surprise $1,000 grants to each of our participants! Thank you to all of our participants for sharing your stories and for continuing to inspire us to follow our dreams, and thanks to everyone who has supported the Brainchild Fund!

For the third year in a row, the support of the Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC), our nonprofit fiscal sponsor, was essential. We want to extend a huge thank you again to Wendy Baumann, WWBIC’s President & CVO, and the rest of her team—Thalia Mendez, Jon Gaines, Kamaljit Jackson, Lisa Sullivan, Maddie Ostrander—for all the amazing support.

We cannot thank our sponsors enough for believing in our vision of supporting women in business and entrepreneurship to assist in providing resources and opportunities for women to build the futures they dream for themselves and their families. A big thank you to: Ixonia Bank and Athena Legal Solutions.

But of course, the stars of the show were the amazing businesswomen that brought our showcase to life. Without their commitment, energy, support, and passion, this event would not have been possible. Our panelist’s dedication to their craft was inspiring to behold! Even if you couldn’t join us for the showcase, check out the links below to go support these amazing ladies!
