Geek Girls - Central Massachusetts
Do you own and run a technology based business? Come network and share information with women from the Central Massachusetts region who own small businesses, work on the web, develop websites or work in other technology areas. The following websites are of women-led businesses in the central Worcester area that are technology oriented. We are the Geek Girls, and we meet on the second Tuesday of each month to share ideas and techniques. We had our first meeting on September 28, 2004!

For New Business Owners
Geek Girls exists as a support group for experienced female business owners who have run their company for a while and are established. We are set up so we can talk with technically competent peers who have faced the same issues and can offer practical suggestions.
I'm afraid the times we've brought brand new owners into the mix that we have all ended up spending our time "supporting them" on how to run their business which is what we all do all day long. It turns our dinners into a free consulting group session. Our Geek Girl meetings are intended to be a down time from that type of activity :)
If you're just getting started you'll find a lot of support with the local chamber of commerce - they have free consulting, SCORE consultants and much more to get you up and off the ground.
