Dawn Lafreeda, Largest female restaurant owner in America- EP Show Her The Money.
Manage episode 399771512 series 2977425
It takes GUTS to be a 16-year-old waitress at Denny’s and decide at age 23 that you were going to own the place. And that’s just what Dawn Lafreeda did. Cut to a few decades later, and Dawn is now the largest female-owned restaurant franchisee in the U.S., with 80 Denny’s in her portfolio.
But her road to success was not always paved with gold. Her early life was heart-wrenchingly difficult, but she decided to use that as fuel to become a success and earn enough money to control her life and destiny. And that’s exactly what she’s done.
Dawn is also the exec producer of the much-acclaimed documentary, “Show Her The Money,” which highlights four female entrepeneurs and their journey to securing venture capital money for their projects. Women get just two percent of the billions of dollars in venture capital funding. Dawn is on a mission to change that.
