Press Release: A Girl You Might Know Foundation and Aton Path Inc. Forge Global Partnership to Empower Women in the Creative Economy
A Girl You Might Know Foundation, founded by internationally acclaimed designer and creative visionary Hayley Paige, today announced a landmark partnership with Aton Path Inc., a global enterprise trusted by governments, investors and innovators for its leadership in building sustainable economic ecosystems.
The collaboration unites two forces of transformation; one rooted in creative empowerment, the other in strategic diplomacy and growth - to launch an international initiative helping women in the arts protect their ideas, access funding, and transform creativity into lasting enterprise.
Built on a shared belief that creativity is both expression and economy, the partnership merges artistic inspiration with operational strategy, a fusion that turns imagination into ownership.
Through this alliance, A Girl You Might Know Foundation will expand its reach to help women secure patents, trademarks, and business registrations, while Aton Path contributes its global infrastructure, government-relations expertise, and investment networks to guide these ventures from creation to scale, ensuring creative innovation is supported by policy, capital, and long-term sustainability.
“Every creative woman has a story that deserves to be told, and protected,” said Hayley Paige, Founder of A Girl You Might Know Foundation. “We’re building more than opportunity; we’re building ownership and the confidence to stand behind one’s own brilliance.”
“At Aton Path, our mission is to maximize human impact by creating scalable systems of inclusion and prosperity,” said Genevieve Gee, Co-Founder and CEO of Aton Path Inc. “This partnership bridges artistry and enterprise, ensuring that women’s ideas become global forces for innovation and equity.”
The collaboration will:
Provide direct funding and legal resources to help women secure IP protections for their creative works.
Develop training programs on IP literacy, business registration, and market readiness.
Establish mentorship networks connecting female artists with business strategists, investors, and industry professionals and brands.
According to UNCTAD’s Creative Economy Outlook 2024, the creative economy contributes up to 7.3% of GDP and 12.5% of employment across surveyed countries, underscoring the sector’s power as an engine of inclusive economic growth.
This initiative is inspired by the vision of Hayley Paige, whose creativity and commitment to empowering others gave rise to A Girl You Might Know Foundation. Her leadership has created a platform where artistic talent and entrepreneurial ambition converge to drive global progress; a vision Aton Path is proud to help scale through partnership and purpose.
By uniting A Girl You Might Know Foundation’s deep understanding of artistic communities with Aton Path's government-relations expertise and operational reach, the partnership establishes a new U.S. led, globally inclusive model for empowering women-led creative enterprises, transforming innovation into ownership and artistry into economic opportunity.
