Summit Recap · San Francisco · March 2025

Power. Strategy. Connection. The spark that started it all.

May 27, 2025 · Golden Gate Club, San Francisco · The inaugural Summit

Inside the historic Golden Gate Club, 140 women came together to ignite a new wealth era. This was the launchpad — the first Wealth Catalyst Summit, where a new narrative of money was born. Not one of scarcity or quiet ambition, but of freedom, unapologetic values, and unstoppable community.
