Great to "meet" you. Your business and product sounds very innovative! I am a fairly new resident in ATL, just celebrated my 1 year anniversary here last week. So outside of work & family I really don't have a network of like-minded women. I just recently started a Ladies Who Launch Incubator, but the group is very small (3 of us). Being a new entrepreneur is kind of lonely existence, so I will definitely take you up on your offer. Thank you so much.
