SPOTLIGHT
The Big Push is a team founded by all women and created by Sharon Zohar (Founder/CEO). Sharon sheds light on the true importance of having the important conversations and challenges women face with their startups. In an interview she said “ I think more and more conversations are happening. It’s the right time for women to be loud and clear that we are here and we are going to make an economic change. We are a force and we the need the support of many other organized initiatives.” Their commitment and focus to elevate companies created by women by creating actionable and measurable growth plans is incredible. Sharon is a total go getter and the founding members on her team are a force to be reckoned with.
Some of the features we love: they are very action oriented by having access to hands on support from talented business experts, lead by women with empathetic understanding about challenges women face in a male dominated startup ecosystem.
