At Silicon Couloir, we believe entrepreneurship thrives through connection, shared experience, and honest conversation. Our March 2nd Chance Meetings panel from 5-7 pm at The Virginian brings together three incredible women whose work spans venture capital, community building, and one of the most demanding industries imaginable, commercial fishing in Alaska. The panel features Gesche Haas, founder of a female-focused entrepreneurial network; Carli Sapir, a venture capital partner investing in women’s sexual health and wellness; and Jess Normandeau, owner of a salmon fishing boat operated by a female-majority crew.
Together, they will share how women are building successful companies across sectors while strengthening the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem by investing in one another, creating community, opening doors, and leading with grit and resilience. Their stories demonstrate that there is no single path to leadership and that when women support each other, the impact extends far beyond individual success.
Join us on Monday for this inspiring conversation! |

Many small business owners find the world of financing confusing—especially how SBA loans and independent financial firms like Altura work together to provide flexible options.
On March 23rd, 5-7 PM at Lula Wine Bar in Driggs, Idaho, Altura’s Director of Lending Katie Cook and Senior Loan Officer Forrest Grigg will host an engaging informational session. They’ll break down the types of financing available (including SBA programs, conventional loans, and alternative solutions), explain how these options complement each other, and dispel common myths that hold businesses back. Bring your questions for an open Q&A session. Whether you’re planning to start, grow, or refinance your business, this is your opportunity to gain clarity and confidence in your financing strategy.
Space is limited—join us for drinks, conversation, and actionable insights!

We are incredibly proud of the resilience, collaboration, and momentum reflected in these achievements, and none of it would have been possible without our incredible community. Thank you for being part of our mission to empower entrepreneurship in the Tetons and beyond and to help build a stronger, more vibrant community. |
