Leveling the Playing Field For 5 Female Founders

Challenge

Managing a growing business without investment leaves most founders cash strapped, unable to afford additional support/resources, and short on time to address either. As our founder experienced and has witnessed countless times with others, if a business owner cannot find additional resources to fuel more sales, while building a campaign to nurture and attract investment interest, the business is far more likely to become financially strangled by its success. It's growth can cause it to fail.

Solution

We will help 5 female co/founders who's businesses are on the cusp of investment but lack the resources needed to secure it. Over 9 months, we will help them identify their target investment community, speak directly and repeatedly to them about their business, its growth and opportunities, while helping them find additional new sales & new channels to market to continue to capitalize on their existing growth. We will help them make the connections they need to fuel faster growth and investment.

Long-Term Impact

Investing in 5 female founders has a tremendous potential reach and impact. Unlike men, women tend to invest 90 percent of their income back into their families and communities. This means that women are not only bringing additional income into their homes and putting food on the table, but also have the money to send their children to school, and invest in their futures too. As Christine Lagarde accurately stated at a World Economic Forum in Davos, "When women do better, economies do better."
