Non-Profit Spotlight | Erika Gable | Women’s Small Business Accelerator, Inc.

We are excited to take the month of February to highlight women making an impact in our community through the work they do in non-profit organizations. We asked these women to share one thing…why they are passionate about their work. We are inspired by their responses, and we know you will be, too! Today are thrilled to highlight our friend Erika Gable who is dedicated to making a difference through the amazing work she does at the Women’s Small Business Accelerator, Inc!

Through my work at the Women’s Small Business Accelerator, a local nonprofit, I seek to close the revenue gap between women-owned and male-owned small businesses, and to create a thriving community of women entrepreneurs.

Starting a business is an exciting adventure and can positively contribute to local economies and support growing families. It is also a challenging and isolating time for new entrepreneurs. Through our programming, we help start-up entrepreneurs gain the tools to monetize their business, early-stage entrepreneurs connect with and support each other, and mid-stage entrepreneurs meet their growth goals through hand-paired mentor matches.

Much like the gender pay gap, there is a revenue gap between women and men business owners: There is $3 trillion left on the table – and we want to help women in Central Ohio get their share. Women business owners can then hire and pay their staff living wages, support their own families, and become a positive role-model in the community.
