Our Story

We get asked often how The Nest came to be. The idea of opening a female forward space came about in an organic way. After living in larger cities, the founders saw an opportunity to support change-makers in a new way in Green Bay.

This first-of-its-kind space is a membership driven community that supports and empowers all to move their mission forward and to stop lone-wolfing their business and life.

We started a public Facebook Group, “Women in Entrepreneurship - Northeastern Wisconsin” with the desire to connect an underground community of people working from home and behind their screens. As that group grew, we knew there was an opportunity to come face to face and learn from and grow with each other in person.

The Nest officially opened its clubhouse Downtown Green Bay in January, 2020.

Our Mission

Creating space for female-forward change makers to be impactful, build empires, and receive all. the. coin. 😉. And our paradigms are how we do it—

  • Community

    We build our empires by surrounding ourselves with fellow change-makers.

  • Space

    We create our best work by being in the physical presence of others.

  • Collaboration

    We connect and collaborate with others to generate the greatest success for all.

  • Inclusion

    We are on the forefront of equity and inclusion and we honor diverse thoughts, perspectives, and backgrounds.

  • Permission

    We let go of people-pleasing and trust ourselves.

  • Education

    We are always growing, we are always learning.

  • Worthy

    We are worthy of our desires, investing in ourselves and others, our joy, and our success.

  • Celebration

    We celebrate our own wins and others as if it is a win for all (it is.)

  • Leaders

    We set a vision, have the courage to seek counsel, and empower others to become change-makers.

  • Expand Perspective

    We build on existing thought processes, define what success looks like, and open ourselves to possibility.
