It’s shocking.” “We are flocking toward crowdfunding platforms to help in everyday emergencies because a vast majority of women do not have an emergency savings fund.”“AngeLink has built a platform that is focused on a community where women can depend on a safe and secure place to connect with their friends and loved ones in times of need...but also, the opportunity to change your life when starting a small business.”“Women are starting businesses 2x faster than men…unleashing the economic power of women is a $3 Trillion unmet opportunity. There’s a huge gap in the market, and the problem is that women need money to start their business.” Connect with Gerry:Instagram:    @angelink_official Connect with AllisonJoin us for the SBSC Summit: https://www.shebelievedshecould.co/event-details/sbscfallsummitInterested in working together?
