"Does anyone have a
recommendation for...?"

We heard you. And we built the answer.

Our Circle is your go-to guide for the best women-owned businesses right here in our community — curated by women who've actually been there. No more searching. No more guessing. Just trusted recommendations from women you know.

How it works

Simple. Intentional. Ours.

The more women who show up, the bigger the Circle grows.

1

Add your business

If you own a women-owned business, share it with the Circle. Once you're in, women in our community can find you when they're looking for what you do.

2

Join the directory

If you're here to browse local women-owned businesses, sign up for the directory and we'll email you as the Circle grows.

3

Give us a recommendation

Know a woman-owned business that changed the game for you? Send her our way. This is a trusted, safe space to share the best of the best — because the strongest recommendations always come from women who've been there.

“When women find each other, magical things happen. It’s not just finding each other — it’s supporting each other, helping each other grow, and sharing perspectives that are uniquely ours.”

About Our Circle

Hi, I'm Jenn. Two N's.

I'm a mom x3 and an executive at a Fortune 30 company. My job is customer experience, and I'm also a brand experience advisor for founder-led companies serving mothers and families. I find where the brand promise breaks down and I redesign the moments so customers actually feel the care.

On the weekends you'll find me with my family, or doing returns at Whole Foods.

In corporate, I've had a front-row seat to women working against each other. I've also been fortunate to have a front-row seat where women are working together and lifting each other up. I've had women help me get through some of the toughest parts of my life — and I want more of that in the world.

I can't wait to meet all of the incredible women in the area. If you see me, say hello!

Why I built this

Why I created this

I couldn't find a place that listed all of the local businesses in our corner of Montgomery County, or the ones owned by women. With more and more women leaving the corporate world to start their own things, I wanted this to be a place we could support each other's business. And I wanted it to be the first place people go when they have a need.

The second, quieter reason

I wanted this to show what's possible. I know there are women out there sitting on a business idea, or a passion, and they don't know where to start. By learning from the businesses before us, my hope is we can learn from each other. What works, what doesn't, and how to take the leap into owning your own business.

What's next?

I'm learning as I go with this. Right now, Our Circle is a space where the bigger it gets, the more the Circle grows. No woman is left out. There is room for everyone.

Right now we're focused on building the Circle with businesses. Next up, I'd love to do features on the women in the Circle — how the business came to be, and lessons learned along the way. More to come soon!

Thank you for joining me. I'm so glad to be part of this Circle with you — Our Circle.

With thanks,
Jenn
