Project W is law firm Davis Wright Tremaine's commitment to helping women build great companies, advance their careers and achieve parity in the workplace. We do that through partnerships with innovative, like-minded organizations across the country, through our national network of entrepreneurs, investors, and business executives, and through our own programming. Part of Project W’s mission is lifting up underrepresented female founders and closing the racial divide in the startup ecosystem. Our signature programming includes our Women Entrepreneurs Boot Camp (WEB) for seed-stage tech companies, our Emerging Food Brands Lab for seed-stage packaged food companies, our SaaS Launch Lab in partnership with Microsoft’s venture fund, M12, for pre-seed SaaS enterprise companies, and our Tech Equity Hub, for pre-seed tech companies founded by Black and Latinx female founders.
