We're entrepreneurs - who happen to be women & we have a new approach to networking

You’re finally chasing your dream, but you’re also realizing this whole business thing can be really lonely. And the last thing you want to do is sign up for a stuffy networking event where all you do is swap business cards with dudes in suits. CUE THE ANXIETY.


Hive is here to add fun and meaningful events to your calendar that move your business–and your personal growth– forward. We host monthly, in-person meetups at breweries, restaurants, and local businesses around Western North Carolina. It’s a– grab a drink, laugh a lot, and talk allll about business kinda group. And that’s exactly how we like it.

what if you didn't have to choose between self-care & a successful business?

Your business can grow without you growing, but it will thrive if you grow along with it. 

I’m Ashley, the heart and soul of The Hive. Founding this group was my solution to a personal struggle: to meet friends and make meaningful connections after years of working remotely. 

I was craving a community I could turn to that would allow me to:

A.) Fully be myself… zero holding back

B.) Let me talk about the messy and uncomfortable parts of business just as much as the great and empowering ones

Now The Hive is 110+ women strong and my mental health has never been better. 

Want these meaningful connections for yourself too? We’d love to have you as our newest member.🐝✨

we're so welcoming, you'll forget it's your first event within 10 minutes

We know it can be nerve-wracking attending an event where you don’t know a soul. But that’s exactly how most of our members first find us. You only have to be brave for a minute, and then you’ll be in excellent hands. We make it our mission to include everyone– no need to stare at your Iphone in the corner praying that someone will welcome you into the conversation.

what entrepreneurs are asking --

Hive Ambition is a membership-based community focused on supporting women in business through resources, training, and networking.

ABSOLUTELY! We have several virtual-only monthly events, like our book club and hour-long Hive Mind sessions that take place on Zoom. We have members in Texas, Virginia, South Carolina, and beyond.

Soon-ish! Once the model is solid and established in Western NC, there will be options to start your own branch– which we’ll obviously be calling Hives. To express interest in starting your own Hive, email Ashley directly at ashley@hiveambition.com

All in-person events are held in Western North Carolina. Most of our members are in Asheville, but we also host events in Fletcher, Brevard, Hendersonville, Candler and beyond. Ashley, the owner of Hive Ambition organizes, attends, and runs all events.

Hive is always looking for opportunities to work together. Whether it’s hosting an event at your space, providing raffle items at events for sponsorship, or other means of collaboration. Just contact us at the form below to get started!
