FOUNDERS
What started as a simple idea—a makeup workshop collaboration in 2019
quickly grew into a passionate dining room conversation.
From that moment, a seed was planted:
“What if we created an event to uplift and support women entrepreneurs?”
That single idea sparked a movement!
As seasoned entrepreneurs from Winnipeg, Sherry Sobey and Nancy Dutiaume know firsthand the challenges of building a successful business from the ground up. In their respective journeys, they noticed a significant gap: while there were plenty of resources for entrepreneurs, finding truly relevant support tailored to women’s unique needs was rare.
The reality? Many of the voices offering guidance hadn’t walked the path of entrepreneurship themselves. The strategies shared often felt disconnected from the lived experiences of business owners navigating the complexities of balancing growth, innovation, and personal well-being.
That’s when they decided to create something different—a community where women entrepreneurs could access not only practical tools and resources but also authentic mentorship, meaningful connections, and a shared understanding of the journey.
Made To Grow is more than just a support network; it’s a movement rooted in collaboration, empowerment, and the belief that together, we can rise higher than we ever could alone.
