IFC recently launched the SheWINS Africa initiative which aims at supporting 100 women-led startups through increasing their access to financing and capacity building. This would be achieved through delivering an “Investment Readiness and Capital raising” training to these 100 female-led startups/enterprises and enhancing their access to financing opportunities. The series of the SheWINS Africa training/activities will culminate in a Pitch Competition, which will serve as a platform to showcase Africa’s promising trained female startups and enterprises as well as provide networking and pitching opportunities for these women-led startups and enterprises with Seedstars’ network of investors.
Meet the 100 women entrepreneurs!
