Heidi Ganahl Biography

Heidi Ganahl is an entrepreneur and CEO, the founder of Camp Bow Wow, the Fight Back Foundation, Moms Fight Back and SheFactor. She was named one of Fortune magazine’s 10 Most Promising Entrepreneurs and among the “Top Women Entrepreneurs in the Country” by Parade Magazine. In 2014, Ganahl sold the Camp Bow Wow brand to turn her attention to philanthropy, politics, and other endeavors.

Ganahl's story is outlined by extraordinary adversity in her life. Beginning with the loss of her husband at the age of 27, and financial hardships, she picked up her entrepreneurial spirit and channeled her passion for business to help her get back to her feet. She is now a mother of four, and in 2022 ran as the Republican nominee for Colorado Governor.

One of Ganahl's passions is to find ways to give back. In 2016, she was elected statewide as a University of Colorado Regent. She founded the Fight Back Foundation to tackle the most pressing issues facing children today, and in 2019 she launched SheFactor with to inspire and teach twenty-something women how to create a life they love.

Ganahl often speaks about her journey and commitment to keeping the American dream alive and well for future generations. She is the proud wife of Jason Ganahl, one of the top BBQ cooks in the country, and leader of GQUE BBQ. Together, they have four children – Tori, Hollie, and twins Jack and Jenna – as well as a lab named Henry and a kitty named Moo.
