Ascent is an online digital learning platform that utilizes a modern, e-learning experience specifically targeted for female entrepreneurs who want to grow or scale their existing business.

SBA’s Ascent is packed with resources women business owners need to achieve their business goals. Ascent is designed for the “missing middle” — growth-oriented women entrepreneurs who are beyond the start-up phase and already generating revenue yet looking to grow and scale. Most learning resources for business owners focus on either start-ups or mature businesses. Ascent is here to change that!
