New female founder group launches in CHS: Like Minded CHS
May 30, 2024
Angel Passailaigue Holmes, an experienced PR and events professional, has recently established a new organization called “Like Minded CHS,” specifically for female founders in Charleston.
This organization is a beta chapter for the Like Minded Collective and Like Minded OC based in Orange County, CA. The primary focus of the group is to create opportunities for female founders to connect, learn, and grow together by hosting in-person events like high-vibe meet-ups, workshops, and retreats. The aim is to provide a platform where like minded female founders can come together to amplify their voices, build personal relationships, and thrive in business. By participating in these events, they can expand their network, build new business friendships and partnerships, and learn new skills to enhance their businesses.
To kick things off, Like Minded CHS is hosting a series of events for founders to attend:

History of Like Minded
Inbal Claudio is a 3x founder and mom of 3 whose mission is to make sure every single female founder, no matter what stage of business they’re in, knows how incredible they are and has the support they need!
She has cultivated a virtual community of over 2,500 women in 2 years and has seen the impact in her life & business. The one missing piece was in-person events, which is why she decided to create Like Minded OC where she could bring all the amazing female founders in So Cal together.
After meeting Angel Holmes and discussing the idea of starting other off-shoots of the popular community, she decided to partner with Holmes to start the second in-person community–this time on the East Coast in Charleston, SC.
