10th Flourish Media Conference Connects Womenpreneurs & Investors

• The 10th Annual Flourish Media Conference took place in South Florida
• Entrepreneurs attended to receive advice, learn from workshops, and network with investors
• The conference brings together business owners and investors who are interested in their ideas

The 10th Annual Flourish Media Conference has recently concluded, giving small and aspiring business owners the opportunity to gain advice and network with potential investors.

The conference was centered on the theme of connecting business owners with investors who recognize the potential for a profitable partnership.

The conference has been running for ten years, beginning with a lunch discussion between Vivian Olodun, co-founder of Flourish Media, and an investor.

In the course of the lunch discussion, the investor discussed his views on women in business, stating that women entrepreneurs are eight times more likely to succeed when they are invested in.

Vivian asked the investor what would happen if he invested in women entrepreneurs. This led to 26 investors agreeing to meet women entrepreneurs at the first annual Flourish Media Conference.

After the completion of the conference, Vivian and co-founder Tracy Timberlake recognized a need for ongoing support.

Thus, they launched Flourish Media, which will host events, masterminds, courses, and workshops year round. While there was no intention of starting a business, the success of the conference encouraged them to create a full service organization.

Flourish Media is a training resource related to Marketing. Their purpose is to assist business owners and supporters (via marketing) with increasing their visibility in both the real world and the digital world.

The company also provides networking for investors to combat the isolation entrepreneurs currently face and to connect with other entrepreneurs, mentors and potential investors.

The Flourish Media Conference is an annual event that is highly awaited. The conference will consist of an investor pitch session, vendors owned and operated by women, workshops, panel discussions and opportunities to network.

Participants are provided with the opportunity to take the "Seasons Quiz" to assess their level of readiness for investment and to identify those areas in need of growth.

The event produced numerous success stories; for example, Sainte Billings, owner of Ampliara, has grown her revenue to $50,000 per month.

Kreyol Essence's owner attended the 2019 conference where she received valuable input from potential investors; this eventually led to her appearing on Shark Tank where she secured an investment from Kevin O'Leary.

Flourish Media is still dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs expand their businesses and connect with investors willing to help them turn their ideas into successful companies.
