The Austin Chapter
The WIBNN Austin Chapter is the founding chapter of the Women in Business National Network — and it's exactly what Joy Blackwell envisioned when she asked what women in business actually needed: a room full of the right people.
Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities for women entrepreneurs in the country. We're not here for surface-level mixers or pitch competitions. We're here for real relationships, honest conversations, and the kind of community that shows up when it matters.
The Austin chapter hosts regular meetups, workshops, and member events — and connects locally to the full WIBNN national network. Whether you're scaling your sixth company or launching your first, you belong here.

FOUNDER & CEO - JUJE
Juje is a scalp care brand offering four botanical, fragrance-forward products designed to close the gap between clinical scalp treatments and luxury hair care, specifically formulated for textured hair. Each product is formulated to deliver real results while making scalp care something you actually enjoy.
Juje was born from founder and CEO Kenni Kaufman's memory of her grandmother's Sunday scalp and hair oiling rituals. Those acts of love, culture, and preservation shaped her belief that scalp care should feel as intentional as it is effective. Before launching Juje, Kenni built over a decade of experience as a Tech and Entertainment Executive spanning talent acquisition, people operations, and culture transformation across VR/AR/XR, virtual production, gaming, VFX, and advertising -- with organizations such as the NFL, Warner Bros., HBO, CNN, and Horizon Media. She continues to channel that same commitment to people through advocacy work supporting young people, women in tech, and survivors of trafficking, as well as working with veterans translating military experience for the private sector.
