Sistahbiz Global Network

What Sistahbiz Global Network does

Sistahbiz Global Network Corporation is a privately held, founder-owned business headquartered in Denver, Colorado, founded by Makisha Boothe in 2007, that operates a structured business planning system and online community targeting Black women entrepreneurs. The core product is the Growth Game Plan™, a proprietary 12-month framework that connects goals, revenue priorities, and monthly actions into a repeatable methodology, accessed through The Suite, a private online platform serving as a CEO command center for tracking KPIs, joining cohorts, and participating in monthly challenges. The platform is supplemented by expert coaching across five specializations (Revenue, Budget, Traffic, Tech, HR), an annual Goal Digger Retreat, and recurring programming (Growth Labs, Budget Labs, Masterclasses, Cohort Programs).

The business operates a dual-entity structure: the for-profit Sistahbiz Global Network Corporation generates revenue primarily through membership subscriptions priced at $49/month or $497/year, with optional private coaching services and a forthcoming Growth Game Plan Coach Academy certification program launching Fall 2026; the affiliated Sistahbiz Foundation, established in 2019, delivers free coaching, micro-grants through the Unstoppable Grant Fund, Goal Digger Scholarships, and business bootcamps to underserved Black women entrepreneurs. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, leveraging content marketing, a free Facebook group, organic social, and member referrals as primary acquisition channels. Founder Makisha Boothe has accumulated multiple industry recognitions (U.S. SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2007, Clara Brown Award 2009, Top 25 Women in Business 2021, Business Catapult Award 2022, Entrepreneur of the Year 2024) and secured strategic partnerships including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Coalition to Back Black Businesses and BOSS Network's Invest in Progress Grant program.
