The RAVEL Collective
A non-ick networking community for socially conscious, purpose-driven women entrepreneurs.
Throw out everything you think you know about “networking”
The RAVEL Collective is a private community of women entrepreneurs focused on building strong professional relationship. We are a diverse group from all over the world who network, learn from each other, and share referrals.
Somewhere along the way we also began building friendships that extend beyond the walls of our private space. We text, chat, give each other feedback, and when geography permits, we even meet up in person.
There’s a better way to show up
When we build genuine relationships we can leverage real human connections to create strong bonds with shoulder-niche peers and complementary service providers. The result is a valuable network of truly invested referral partners who collaborate and send each other clients.
It’s less about volume, likes, and offers and ALL about empowering each other to succeed.
In a safe space
Where you can ask any question without intimidation, competition, or fear of looking dumb.
With the right people
Where you’re surrounded by smart, values-aligned women committed to your success.
in WELLNESS
Where you can be YOU without spammy sales, forced referrals, or thinly veiled self-promotion.
Women working together are a force of nature
“I always struggled with traditional networking because they were so often transactional and felt sort of icky. There’s a better way to build a supportive network that benefits more than just your business. We need strong webs of women who will support and encourage one another as we build our businesses.
I created this community for all the service-based female entrepreneurs who feel the same way.”
-Cara Steinmann, Founder of Ravel Collective

Is Ravel Right For You?
Ravel isn’t for everyone. Aside from the requirements that you identify as a purpose-driven woman entrepreneur, here are a few ways you can tell if you’re a good fit:
You Want Freedom AND Profit
It’s a myth that more work = more $. The secret to more money AND freedom is to specialize. When you become highly reputable and referable you can charge a premium because you’re the only one who does what you do the way you do it.
You’re Full of Empathy
You’re a natural giver and want to empower others. You’re encouraging and positive, and maybe you even consider yourself an Empath or Highly Sensitive Person.
Your Values Lead You
You might share some of these values with the rest of us.
(and if you’re not sure what your core values are you’re ready to find out!)
Freedom
Connection
Authenticity
Fun
Creativity
Kindness
Integrity
Transparency
Vulnerability
Personal Growth
Empathy
You Crave REAL Connection
Are you a natural connector who collects relationships and can’t wait to share your latest amazing discovery with your network of favorite people?

WHAT MAKES RAVEL DIFFERENT FROM OTHER NETWORKING GROUPS FOR WOMEN?
Ravel is a come as you are, people-first collection of women genuinely committed to lifting each other up. We don’t try to sell you additional services or force you to refer others in the group.
We do purposefully promote one another and are on a shared journey to grow our visibility and businesses together. Because we like each other. Not because we have to.
