Pow.wow is the brainchild of Dava Guthmiller.

In 2004, Dava invited 14 women to her office to exchange ideas and discuss the challenges of running a small business. Pow.wow is now over 400 strong and growing. It continues to be a place where women can come to share ideas, get feedback and develop productive relationships.

The uniqueness of Pow.wow stems from its membership. Most of its members are between the ages of 25-45 and their businesses mirror the diversity and creativity of the Bay Area.

As Pow.wow continues to grow and evolve - just like the businesses it represents - it remains committed to connecting individuals, supporting ideas and having a good time while doing it.

Pow.wow Mission

Pow.wow is a networking group for creative, dynamic and business savvy women. Our goal is to support the success of its members by:
