Why now?
Why Dream Weavers?

Dream Weavers supports women who are breaking new ground—first-time
entrepreneurs, often the first in their families to start a business. These women are
launching and growing companies while managing households, caring for loved ones, and
navigating financial risk. They are driven by purpose, resilience, and a desire to build something
that lasts—not just for themselves, but for their families and communities. They’re at different stages of the journey—some have just filed their LLC paperwork, others are crossing six-figure milestones, and many are chasing the elusive $1M mark. What unites them are the barriers they face:

● Limited access to capital
● Little or no formal business training
● A lack of trusted, relatable mentors

These are not just entrepreneurs. They are changemakers rewriting what’s possible—often
without a safety net.

Dream Weavers

A central place where Dreamers, Weavers, and Builders connect to thrive, share wisdom, and ignite the Dream Weavers Foundation’s mission of empowering women to dream beyond their limits.

Dream Weavers Foundation was born from a simple but profound truth: building your dream is never a solo journey.

Founder Jenny Jing Zhu knows this firsthand—her life has been a series of transformations, from a remote village in China to leading a multi-million-dollar company. At every stage, she realized one thing:

The stories we hear shape the stories we believe we can live.

How We Serve

Dream Weavers is a community-powered launchpad for first-generation women entrepreneurs.

We meet founders where they are—with culturally responsive, experience-
driven support that actually moves the needle. Our model blends real-world education, personal
mentorship, and the power of community to unlock growth.

What we do: From Inspiration to Action

At Dream Weavers, we don’t just talk about change—we create it through four key initiatives:

Education & Training

Practical, relevant workshops, courses, and webinars taught by successful women
founders—on topics like finance, branding, operations, and scaling.

Mentorship & Networks

One-on-one guidance and high-value connections from experienced entrepreneurs who’ve walked this path and want to shorten the learning curve.

Community & Support

A vibrant, engaged peer network where founders can share, learn, collaborate; and stop feeling like they’re doing it alone.

Visibility & Opportunity

Connecting entrepreneurs to audiences, networks, and opportunities that can
transform their trajectory.
