Welcome to SAGE
We are a collective of female founders, entrepreneurs, creatives and small businesses in Northern New Jersey. We pride ourselves on being a warm and inclusive community, built on Wisdom, Experience and Reflection.
SAGE exists to build community among small business owners in what is often a very lonely endeavor. We are here to support and cheer each other on.
Our guiding community values are:
Share the floor - we agree to make sure to listen as much as we speak.
Keep it confidential: So we can be vulnerable, what is shared here stays here.
Uplift each other: we are kind, assume the best, and root each other on.
SAGE, where we build, support, and rise—together. Join us here!
