Betsy Fore - Author and Founder, Velveteen Ventures

Inspiration to Fuel Your Next Chapter

You are invited to coffee and conversation with Betsy Fore, trailblazing founder, author of Built on Purpose, and venture investor. Betsy will guide us through the art and science of living and leading with intention. You’ll hear how she turned bold intuition into multimillion-dollar companies, tapped into her Deep Inner Why through a near-death experience, stayed grounded through a Shark Tank crisis, and built a life where motherhood, entrepreneurship, and purpose all reinforce one another. She will be interviewed by fellow NorthShore mom and entrepreneur Emily Groden of Evergreen.
