The Seed, uniting women and resources around the world, announces the launch its online community at www.TheSeedConnection.com.

“Our vision is to grow The Seed into a successful international organization, providing education and connecting women-in-business with the resources they need to succeed,” commented Erin Seabold, co-founder of The Seed. “This will be accomplished through innovative technology and our most exciting feature, resource matching.”

According to Entrepreneur Magazine1, women are becoming new business owners at twice the rate of men.

“Unfortunately, many of those businesses don’t succeed,” said Seabold. “This is frequently due to poor planning or the inability to connect with partners who can fill in the gaps of the owner’s business knowledge.”

The Seed provides a solution to this problem by helping women in business unite with pre-screened and profiled resources. Not only resolving this fundamental disconnect of finding resources, The Seed also provides:

• Social Networking. Members can integrate their profile from other social networking sites; Facebook integration is currently in place.
• Platform. Women can establish their own networks, ask questions, find solutions, and form mentoring groups.
• Education. Members have access to a comprehensive library of articles and recorded calls to gain insight into best business practices and how to successfully incorporate the latest technologies.
• Consulting. Consultants provide live help and suggestions to plan for each phase of business growth.

“As a member of The Seed, members will have access to an incredible group of women resources and fellow women in business,” finished Seabold. “They will have access to the tools to grow their businesses and find ways to give back and plant more seeds.”
