## What is HIKE with Her?
HIKE with Her is Spokane's women-led economic infrastructure — a searchable business directory, research-driven community programming, and capital pathways for every woman in the Inland Northwest workforce. Founded by Stephanie High, M.A. HIKE serves women across every role and industry: entrepreneurs, employees, executives, caregivers, and stay-at-home parents. Not just business owners. Everyone.
HIKE is not a networking group. It is connective tissue — built to surface what already exists in the region, fill the gaps, and make the ecosystem visible and accessible to every woman who needs it.
Tagline: You don't have to climb alone.
