Kara Horat

Kara Horat is a three-time six-figure entrepreneur, business strategist, author, and founder of Connect For Success Mastermind, a curated community helping established women entrepreneurs grow through connection, collaboration, and fresh perspective.

With nearly 30 years of entrepreneurial experience and more than 20 years mentoring women in business, Kara has spoken on more than 800 stages and panels, mentored hundreds of entrepreneurs, and was named NAWBO San Diego’s Woman Advocate of the Year.

Since founding Connect For Success in 2014, Kara has built a thriving community around a belief that has shaped her work: women entrepreneurs were never meant to build their businesses in isolation. Through her work around Entrepreneur Isolation Syndrome™, she challenges the idea that being a solopreneur means doing it all alone and helps women surround themselves with the right people, perspectives, and support to grow.

Kara is the founder and lead author of the Amazon bestselling book *Her Next Level: The Truth About Growth, Success, and the Courage to Evolve*, featuring the stories and perspectives of 21 entrepreneurial women navigating growth, change, and what comes next. The book reached #1 in Women & Business and #1 in Biographies of Business Professionals on Amazon.

At the heart of Kara’s work is a simple philosophy: We didn’t set out to build businesses by ourselves. We set out to build businesses for ourselves.
