Description

Flourish was created in 2018 as a creative way to support women and non-gender conforming business owners in earlier stages of their business. Our community benefits tremendously from women-owned and non-gender conforming owned businesses and we want to continue investing in them. Flourish is a way to celebrate, uplift, and financially elevate women and non-gender conforming business owners at an unforgettable live, pitch event.

Flourish seeks to provide a space for community investment in ideas that women and non-gender conforming people have to serve customers in the greater Des Moines community. We’re seeking innovative ideas that will spark, grow, or revamp your business; importantly, ideas that people can get excited about! Three finalists will present their idea at the Flourish event. Based on community vote, one finalist will earn the funds raised from ticket sales to be used for their business.

Today, this event is a collaboration between Love Local and FuseDSM so we can reach more women and continue raising additional funds to take Flourish to the next level.
 
   

FLOURISH T-SHIRTS
Did you know that purchasing a Flourish T-shirt not only shows your support of all things LOCAL, but for every t-shirt purchased, it's a few more dollars from the proceeds towards the prize money awarded to the finalists!
Please considering purchasing a t-shirt even if you are unable to attend the event. T-shirts will be available for pick up at registration the evening of the event or arrangements will be made for pick up/drop off after the event. 
We encourage you to purchase in advance, as a very limited supply of t-shirts will be available the evening of the event.
T-shirts are $25.00 (or you can purchase a registration/t-shirt combination for $50.00)
You can reserve yours by clicking on the registration button and choosing the t-shirt in the drop down option.
