Atlanta, GA — In-Person Community

We built the app.
The community
was always the point.

The Know is a gathering space for women in business — where real connections happen in real rooms. We built the app first. Then we realized: the community has to come before the platform. So we put it on hold, and we're doing this right.

The initial app was built — we put it on hold to gather the community in person first and build something that reflects what people actually want.

What We're Building

In the room.
On purpose.

The strongest communities are built face to face. The Know brings women in business together in Atlanta — recurring gatherings, real relationships, and the kind of access that only happens when you're in the room.

Here's where we are: We built the initial app — and then made a deliberate decision to put it on hold. We want to gather the community in person first, learn what people actually need, and build the digital experience around that. No assumptions. No features nobody asked for. The platform that comes next will be shaped by the women already in the room.
01
In-Person Gatherings

Recurring community events in Atlanta — mixers, dinners, panels, and workshops designed for women in business who want depth over noise.

02
Real Relationships

No algorithms, no follower counts. Just women who show up, stay in the room, and invest in each other's growth — collaborators, mentors, co-founders, and friends.

03
Access & Opportunity

Funding guides, expert content, grant directories, and partner events — curated for where you are right now, whether you're launching or scaling.

Why This Exists

The gaps are real.
The data proves it.

Women in business continue to face structural barriers — not perception gaps. Access to capital, advancement, and opportunity remains unequal. The Know exists to close those gaps, starting with community.

The gender pay gap persists across industries, with greater disparities for women of color and LGBTQ+ professionals.

Why Atlanta

Rooted here.
Built to scale.

Atlanta is one of the most dynamic cities in the country for women in business — a deep culture of entrepreneurship, a growing tech ecosystem, and a Black business community that punches well above its weight. The Know starts here because this is where the work is.

When the community is strong enough, we expand. For now — show up.
