Women Entrepreneurs Meet at Library

There was an all-day workshop at the Westport Library today for women-owned business entrepreneurs. Among the speakers was Skyler Fernandes (r), founder and managing director of New York-based Simon Ventures, a capital investment firm. The event was hosted by Westporters Janis Collins and Jen Gabler, co-founders of Refinery, a nonprofit that “helps women-led businesses scale-up and grow their company,” according to Collins. She said more than 50 women attended the program, which was followed by a two hour networking session held at a women-owned restaurant, the Granola Bar in Playhouse Square.
