Extending its Bold by Vueve Clicquot effort supporting women entrepreneurs in France, the Champagne brand recently partnered with the SISTA collective to create a new program called SISTA x BOLD.
The program is dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs as they recover from the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak and the resultant lockdowns worldwide. Key to the effort is putting women entrepreneurs in touch with 100 mentors offering 1,000 hours of personalized guidance and discussion (see story).
