Before May ends, we want to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month by highlighting AAPI Achieve — our mentorship program dedicated to supporting and elevating Asian American and Pacific Islander entrepreneurs across Arkansas. Representation matters, and we’re proud to be building a stronger, more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. Thank you to Arkansas Business for covering this important work, led by the efforts of VC team member Josh Nguyen! Read more: (fb)

We ❤️ VCWoman Achieve! Our May VCWoman Achieve meetings went above and beyond — diving deep into the power of personal branding and how to harness social media for real business growth. And we had some all-star women leading the way. Big love to former Mentee Beth Pittman of Skills Lab Training and current Mentor Kayla McGuire of Kayla McGuire Consulting for dropping serious knowledge with our Northwest Arkansas cohort. Just as much appreciation for former Mentor Rhonda Aaron of BL Brand PR Agency and current Mentor Sarah Heer of Arkie Travels — who brought the heat and taught all about the power of BUILDING to our Central Arkansas group. Thanks to these dynamic women for showing up, sharing their brilliance, and helping shape the next wave of Arkansas’s leaders. We are so grateful to the people, partners, and sponsors that make #VCWomanAchieve possible: Summit Utilities, Wright Lindsey Jennings, U.S. Bank, UAMS - University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Entergy, THV11, Delta Dental of Arkansas, ACC Capital, Little Rock Regional Chamber, Arkansas Economic Development Commission, and many others!
