Iowa Women's Business Hackathon

Forty women business owners, eight tables, one day. Each table takes on a real small business problem coming in 2027 (getting paid, finding customers, running a one-founder company, working with fractional teams) and builds a working solution by the end of the day. Every attendee leaves with all eight solutions. Accelerator founders and longtime main-street, farm and service business owners work side by side, and beginners are welcome. Doors at 8:30am, done by 2:45pm so moms can make pickup.
