I think it’s great that women-owned businesses are getting a boost in the Chattanooga area. The 48-hour launch program chose two finalists out of nine; The Whiskey Women and Mama’s Got Mail. Both of these businesses got the chance of a lifetime by being entered in this competition. Both businesses were awarded with $10,000 in prizes money and services to develop their entrepreneurship. Overall, it seems that the Whiskey Women had a supportive team that help them to evolve into their business. This article matters to me because it’s encouraging to see women peruse their dreams of being an entrepreneur. It also shows that women can do anything they put their mind to. In this day and age, people get so overwhelmed and intimidated by big companies that are extremely successful, but you have to think that these companies started from the bottom to get to where they are now.
