Deonna shares her entrepreneurial journey from college ventures to leading a successful consulting firm that helps small and micro businesses secure government and corporate contracts. Together, they discuss the importance of strategic planning, embracing technology, and how organizations like NAWBO Columbus empower women business owners to scale with confidence and clarity. Key Points Entrepreneurial Roots: Deonna’s first taste of business came from creating a student-led magazine at The Ohio State University, which ignited her passion for entrepreneurship and problem-solving.

Success Stories: Aventi’s strategic guidance helped clients secure funding and contracts, including one that evolved from a side hustle into a million-dollar company within five years. Looking Ahead: Aventi is developing a SaaS platform to help clients streamline their contracting processes and is embracing AI and technology as key growth drivers. Deonna’s story is a powerful example of how vision, strategy, and community can turn small beginnings into sustainable success, and how women entrepreneurs can thrive by embracing innovation and connection.
