Women's Power Series

What Women's Power Series does

Women's Power Series is a privately held event and community platform founded in 2022 by mother-daughter team Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos and Sophia Kanavos, both luxury hospitality real-estate developers. The company produces signature half-day business conferences — the Women's Power Breakfast — held at premium Ritz-Carlton venues in New York (NoMad) and Miami (South Beach), targeting female entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals. Events feature breakfast curated by the José Andrés Group, fireside chats and panels, networking receptions, and access to a Female-Founded Marketplace for vendor discovery.

The business model combines a philanthropic donation structure — 100% of ticket proceeds are donated to the Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program — with sponsorship and partnership-driven economics, since the company retains no ticket revenue. Distribution is primarily through Instagram (3K+ followers, 431K+ average views, 97.5K+ average reach), an email newsletter (10K+ subscribers), and earned media, with the company reporting 520.1M+ total platform impressions. There is no proprietary software, no mobile app, and no disclosed technology stack, indicating the business operates as a content, events, and community operation rather than a technology platform.

Headcount is 1-10, there is no disclosed outside funding, and ownership is concentrated with the co-founders, pointing to an owner-operated, founder-financed operating model. Customer segments span individual female professionals (primary) and female-founded businesses participating in the marketplace (secondary), with revenue economics likely anchored on sponsorships and vendor participation rather than ticket sales.
