Last month, Nicole Eiden and Marielle Dupr\u00e9 were hustle-ready entrepreneurs running a popular New Orleans pie business called Windowsill Pies<\/a>. This month, they are stars of area entrepreneurship and women\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n

Eiden and Dupr\u00e9 had just won the Junior League of New Orleans\u2019 Women\u2019s Entrepreneurship Fellowship<\/a>, a significant prize and resource given out to the winners of a pitch competition that took place\u00a0during New Orleans Entrepreneur Week<\/a>.\u00a0Windowsill Pies outlined its\u00a0plans for the future, which include opening a European-style coffee shop to serve as a physical retail space for their pies.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

At present, those wanting a Windowsill pie must go to a Whole Foods or other grocery market to pick one up. They\u2019ll use to considerable resources afforded by winning the pitch-off to make such an expansion into a reality.<\/p>\n

The Junior League of New Orleans is an organization with a 91-year tradition of voluntarism and developing the potential of women. Shannon Able, Volunteer President of the chapter, tells us that the Women\u2019s Entrepreneurship Fellowship represents the first time the League has expressed specific interest in entrepreneurship. The rewards of the fellowship include a $2,500 general purpose cash grant and a $2,500 technology budget to spend on taking their business to the next level.<\/p>\n

Windowsill Pies will also receive the Junior League\u2019s guidance and mentorship with respect to legal help, human resources, accounting, and investor development. In terms of the woman-owned small businesses of New Orleans, Windowsill Pies hit the jackpot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our research, there are not as many opportunities for women in business as there are for men,\u201d says Able. \u201cSo we decided to put together some resources. Everything from marketing help to information technology assistance was up for grabs on that pitch stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
