Be^U Business Network was created for women entrepreneurs who are tired of squeezing themselves into a business world that wasn’t built with them in mind. You juggle a thousand roles, carry the invisible load, and still show up with big dreams – and you deserve a professional community designed for you, not against you.
I’m Veronica Bélanger, and before Be^U existed, I was the woman who couldn’t find a place to belong in entrepreneurship. Success was defined by grind culture, 60-hour workweeks, and a “leave your life at the door” mentality. As a mother navigating hostile workplaces, shifting expectations, and a world that treated caregiving as a weakness, I felt like I had to choose between my family and my ambition.
With a Multidisciplinary Studies degree in Mathematics and Theater, I’ve always seen patterns differently — part logic, part creativity, all heart. That lens helped me realize the truth: it wasn’t just moms struggling. All women were trying to thrive in systems that never accounted for our biology, our lived experience, or our brilliance.
So I began researching how women naturally work best — our cycles, our energy, our need for community, our intuitive leadership — and I rebuilt networking from the ground up.
“All women were trying to thrive in systems that never accounted for our biology, our lived experiences, or our brilliance.”
Be^U isn’t traditional networking with a pink bow on it. Every detail of our meetings and events is rooted in research about how women think, work, connect, and grow.
Here, you’ll experience:
A business approach that honors your natural ebbs and flows — without jargon or pressure.
Support that lifts you without shaming you. Miss a goal? You’re still supported, not punished.
Bring your ambition, your ideas, your messy human moments. You’re allowed to be all of you here.
Referrals and partnerships happen organically because connection comes first.
Be^U is built for the female entrepreneur — the woman standing at the edge of change. Maybe you’re launching, refining, expanding, or rebuilding. You’re ready for your next level, but not at the cost of your well-being.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way to do business,” you’re in the right place.
It felt like the world was making it clear where they felt my place in this world was, but what about where I wanted my place in this world to be? Why is it considered unprofessional for a woman to have children and raise them while grooming a business? Why can’t I bring my kids to a meeting because my babysitter canceled on me at the last second? I talked to a lot of other mom friends, and it seemed like I wasn’t alone in these feelings.
Welcome to Be^U — where your business grows, and so do you.

Growing a business takes a network. Growing yourself in the entrepreneurial lifestyle takes a community.

Putting education into action is a large focal point of our network. If you’re committed to obtaining your goals, we can help you achieve them.

You'll give and receive referrals, attend workshops designed to improve your business skills, and build connections with like-minded women entrepreneurs.
