Indigenous Women Leading the Way in Business and Leadership

Why Native Women Launch?

Empowering Indigenous Women to Thrive

We believe in the power of Indigenous women to shape their destinies. Our mission is simple yet profound: to equip Indigenous women with the resources and knowledge they need to not only start but thrive in their businesses.

Igniting Dreams, Building Futures

Our circle of support at NWL holds immense power. We’re here to support, uplift, and champion you as you embark on your journey of entrepreneurship. Together, we light the flames of your dreams and help build the future you envision.

Honoring Tradition, Cultivating Success

Rooted in the traditions of our ancestors, we honor our heritage as we pave new paths forward. Our courses are designed to blend tradition with modern business practices, ensuring that your ventures are not only successful but deeply rooted in cultural identity.

Founded through the Google.org Impact Challenge for Women and Girls in partnership with Blackfeet Community College and Salish Kootenai College, Native Women Launch was built to remove barriers that often stand in the way of Native women’s success in business and leadership. As a program within Accelerate Montana, a nonprofit committed to supporting inclusive economic prosperity for Montana’s workers, companies, and communities, we work to ensure that Native women have the tools, support, and opportunities to thrive—on their own terms.
