Different Place. Same Ambition.

Relocation rarely begins with a spreadsheet. It begins with a feeling that the ceiling in the room is lower than the one in your head.

The women we speak to describe the same arc: a difficult first quarter, an unfamiliar bureaucracy, and then a widening — of network, of pricing power, of self-image.

Ambition travels well. What changes is the market that receives it, and the permission a new city quietly grants to start again at full size.
