GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A woman from West Michigan received national recognition this week by being named on Forbes 30 Under 30 list for retail and e-commerce. The 27-year-old now lives in Denver, where she co-founded the high-end women’s ski apparel company Halfdays. “In the world of venture capital investing, which we’ve taken on investment from, venture capital funds being a female entrepreneur is really really difficult. There’s a huge discrepancy between the amount of venture capital dollars that are being allocated to women versus men,” Ferwerda said. With the recognition of the Forbes list, Ferwerda hopes to help the business continue its growth.
