RENO, Nev. - TelAve -- Empowered Ventures Media Group announces The LaunchHER Lab, a startup experience designed to take women founders from idea to fully built business with the right team behind them.

This is not a traditional pitch competition.

Many founders receive funding early but are still left navigating the critical steps of building a business on their own.

The LaunchHER Lab was created to bridge that gap.

One woman will be selected to step into a fully supported build experience, where her business is developed alongside a team of experts who understand what it takes to launch.

This is where an idea becomes a real business.

"This is about giving women founders what they actually need to succeed, the right people in the room, a clear strategy, and the ability to execute," said Hindi Marciniak, CEO of Empowered Ventures Media Group.
