WINC CIRCLE
WINC Circle (Women in Collective) is an initiative powered by Emerge and Rise to create an inclusive space where women grow in confidence, leadership, and community. WINC is for women across all industries — not just founders — who are building bold futures, navigating change, and seeking connection with others doing the same. Through curated gatherings, real conversations, and a strong peer network, WINC Circle supports women in leading with clarity, growing with intention, and rising with purpose.
Digital and financial literacy Labs
Emerge and Rise™ has launched ongoing drop-in labs and educational workshops focused on digital and financial literacy for San Antonio small business owners.
These sessions are built around real needs, like managing cash flow, preparing for funding and retirement, using digital tools, building credit, or automating simple tasks. Whether you’re just starting or already growing, the labs offer practical, no-pressure support you can use right away.
Workshops are open to all and designed to meet you where you are, because every business deserves the tools to grow smart and stay sustainable.
AI Cowboys proudly sponsors our Digital Literacy Program.
Recreation and small businesses
Emerge and Rise™ is proud to partner with the Texas Outdoor Recreation Alliance (TxORA) to support small business owners and community builders across both urban and rural regions. We share a deep commitment to economic resilience, equity, and place-based strategies that create lasting opportunity. Together, we aim to connect businesses with practical tools, training, and trusted networks, strengthening local economies while building a more inclusive future for all Texans.
