Stacy Taubman

As the Founder/CEO of RISE Collaborative, Stacy Taubman launched a company that is changing the way women do business. RISE Collaborative Workspace has been featured in USA Today, Bloomberg, The Today Show, ELLE Magazine, The Denver Post, St. Louis Business Journal, and more as a leader in the multi-billion-dollar coworking industry.

Since opening in St. Louis in early 2017, RISE Collaborative’s growing membership includes more than 250 of the city’s most impressive business women. A second location is set to open in Denver in early 2019. Focused on empowering women in business and building social capital, Stacy and RISE Collaborative create meaningful connections between individuals, companies and organizations to foster a stronger and healthier business community for women. Dozens of members have reported business growth of 200 percent or more since joining RISE, a true testament to the impact investing in women can have.

Stacy is also a sought-after public speaker and thought leader, having moderated talks with businesswoman and fashion icon Nicole Miller, and sisters Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush Coyne, among many others. She regularly speaks at conferences on female entrepreneurship, social capital, and women empowerment, and co-hosts a podcast, Women on the RISE.
