According to a release for the opening of Maven Space, it is seeking to be a launchpad for local women entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders.
"With the creation of Maven Space, we are giving women access to a powerful, professional network," Bailey stated in a release. "While the physical space is a beautiful and energizing place to work, our secret weapon is our community. Here, women business executives, startup entrepreneurs, creatives, civic leaders and allies will come together to create a vibrant network of support for one another and elevate the ecosystem for women-owned businesses in Indiana."
