About StartUp Stories

Startup Stories is a photography project by women in business for women in business! We are a fierce team on a mission to ensure fellow female bosses shine bright and get the visibility they deserve. Audrey Tappan of Hued and Angela Acosta of Angela Atelier are on a mission to capture the essence of 100 kick-ass entrepreneurs through their lenses to create a visual feast of empowerment and success.

Ally Berthiaume, of The Write Place, Right Time writes their article for Moondust Magazine, featured by Carina Dietz, boosting visibility and credibility.

This project is not just about photos; it’s about building a community where we lift each other. A shoutout goes to Melanie Cunningham of Melanie Cunningham Law, who supports us on the backend with strategic advice.

But starting her own business wasn’t an easy decision for Lauren. She questioned herself, “WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING? HOW AM I GOING TO ACTUALLY DO THIS? AM I GOING CRAZY?” But she trusted her gut and decided to breathe in courage and exhale fear.

Over the past four months, Lauren has been hustling and trusting her instincts. She’s joined networking groups, connected with old colleagues, made new connections, designed a logo, and even booked her first two clients. Lauren is ready to put the FUN back in FUNdraising and has big visions for the future.

Lauren’s most significant compromise was stepping away from the security of a full-time job with benefits and a reliable salary. But she’s confident she can recover quickly if she fails, learn from her mistakes, and try again. She’s a firm believer in progress over perfection.

In five years, Lauren sees LG. Philanthropy as a transformative force in the nonprofit sector, serving as the go-to partner for organizations striving to create lasting, positive impacts in their communities. They will be at the forefront of philanthropic innovation, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in fundraising, strategic planning, and nonprofit management.

Lauren’s story reminds us that sometimes, we need to take risks and invest in ourselves to achieve our goals. It may be scary, but it’s worth it. So take that leap of faith – who knows where it might take you.
