Our Mission
To increase women’s economic power by supporting entrepreneurs to build businesses that last
“It was the support of Tory Burch Foundation and other women entrepreneurs that gave me the tools and inspiration I needed for this journey.”
A near-fatal laboratory accident spurred Tory Burch Fellow Beau Wangtrakuldee to launch AmorSui, a line of thoughtful, sustainable personal protective equipment. When she joined our community, Beau had established a strong foundation for her company. However, she knew she needed support to build on that foundation to scale, especially after becoming a new mom.
Beau leveraged our suite of developmental and financial resources designed to help founders at critical moments in their growth. From advisory sessions with business experts to tapping other Fellows for partnerships and advice, Beau turned her new venture business into a multimillion-dollar disruptor. She is one of the extraordinary women entrepreneurs in the Tory Burch Foundation community adding $1 billion to the economy by 2030.
