We provide a creative, collaborative space for women entrepreneurs and leaders to learn, teach, connect, practice, and thrive.
Our Mission
To foster a community where women’s entrepreneurial dreams come true, struggles are supported, and wins are celebrated. We help you build your legacy so you can help build the future.
Create. Self-Care. Play. Support.
We offer workshops, lunch and learns, and team-building days for female entrepreneurs. Bring your team and gain clarity as a group about the legacy of your company and each team member’s role, impact and personal journey. Or, book a seat at the table with a curated collection of other local female entrepreneurs and be taken through expansive, life-affirming, dream-building activities to get crystal-clear on the legacy you want to leave. We will help you see where you want to go and provide support, connections, and resources for how to get there in both your professional and personal lives.
Tuesdays: Lunch & Learns 12-1pm
Thursdays: Women in Trades First Thursdays, InvestHER Asheville 2nd Thursdays

The Legacy Project
The Mad Genius Show
Asheville Design District
Mad Genius Studios is home to offices for HarmonyAVL+media and Mad Genius Foundation Idea Incubator & Testing Lab, a nonprofit that supports all the free programming at MGS to support, uplift, and guide ambitious women to the next level. We're also an incubator for women startups as well as businesses that are ready to grow out of their home office and into their own space. Want to record your podcast or show at our location? We also rent our space for your projects and can be hired to produce and finish your shows.
Our community is built on local women supporting local women. We are all independent business owners that collaborate by referring business to each other, building relationships at quality networking and educational events, and yes, hiring one another because we seek out opportunities to work in both our professional and personal lives with other women entrepreneurs. We also host microevents that we ourselves want to attend and are always looking for ways to help more women gain leadership roles, build their wealth, and thrive in every aspect of their lives.
Our advisors, supporters, and mentors understand how important it is to create spaces and events that support female entrepreneurs because the journey is winding and best navigated by tapping into the wisdom, experiences, and offerings of other women in our local community. We have advisors helping us strategically grow, apply for grants and funding, and help us identify more ways that we can serve women entrepreneurs.
We aim to offer a way for every woman to get involved in our community. Whether you attend one of our free networking/educational events, support by purchasing a ticket to one of our events or workshops, or want to reach out about a way for us to collaborate, we want to be a place that woman always feel welcomed and able to find ways to grow.
Community updates, new offerings, and member highlight.

For legacy women, by legacy women. Original & curated goods + services.
