Selfmade was born directly in response to the "Shecession" phenomenon, a crisis that cost women around the world at least $800 billion in lost income, and was carefully designed to help women during this critical time. After having served over 3,000 women across 10-week cohorts, it became strikingly clear that there was a massive appetite for this type of content and community — one that celebrated women's unique experiences, leaned into their natural strengths, and equipped them with tangible business-building tools.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Selfmade, a highly interactive business program by Brit + Co, deepens its commitment to building the next generation of female entrepreneurs by announcing a new format.
When the pandemic hit, the economic fallout was astronomical. For women specifically, the impact was even greater, so much so that the trying time was dubbed the "Shecession." The crisis cost women around the world at least $800 billion in lost income in 2020 alone.
Selfmade was born directly in response to this phenomenon and was carefully designed to help women during this critical time. After having served over 3,000 women across 10-week cohorts, it became strikingly clear that there was a massive appetite for this type of content and community — one that celebrated women's unique experiences, leaned into their natural strengths, and equipped them with tangible business-building tools.
After consistent feedback from the growing community that 10 weeks simply wasn't enough, Selfmade is thrilled to announce it is now evolving to an always-on, membership model.
"The number of female entrepreneurs is increasing around the world but they still face many obstacles to starting their own businesses," said Brit Morin, Selfmade's founder. "We need to work collectively to boost entrepreneurial ambitions among women. Selfmade was born out of a desire to tip the scale."
Selfmade has always been about championing women through every stage of entrepreneurship — from starting up to scaling. Through Selfmade's relaunch, the bespoke experience is designed to guide women at every step of building their businesses. It is now available in a custom-catered, go-at-your-own-pace program ready to keep up with the evolving self-starter.

"This is my third entrepreneur series and it ranks #1 in my book," said Kendra Robers, Selfmade member. "Hearing from women who went through the process is helpful. Having access to the Selfmade community is priceless."
