WomenEntrepreneurs4Good 3.0
Supporting women-led change
Do you identify as a woman and are you launching your own impact-driven business?
To join WomenEntrepreneurs4Good 3.0
Applications open on April 5th, 2023
Deadline for Applications is May 2nd, 2023 (23:59h CET)
This initiative is carried out in partnership and with the support of Bank of America and HEC Paris.
Launched in March 2021, WomenEntrepreneurs4Good was imagined as a concrete solution to the negative impacts of the Covid-19 crisis on women entrepreneurs. Today, women entrepreneurs still face greater challenges compared to men, including gender biases, work-life balance, and a lack of professional networks and support, especially when it comes to funding (in 2020 only 2.3% of VC funding went to women-led startups!).
The initiative is a unique accelerator programme that supports women entrepreneurs at the early stages of their journey. The 7-month online programme equips women entrepreneurs with unique resources and capabilities to innovate and grow their businesses by providing coaching, visibility, technical support, exposure and access to a network of stakeholders and global partners.
The programme is going from strength to strength. After the success of the first two editions, the Women’s Forum is determined to grow WE4G and support new projects led by inspiring women creating a better future for all. For the third edition of WomenEntrepreneurs4Good the programme is expanding its scope for a greater impact!
WHAT’S NEW?
- Opening all boundaries: beyond Europe, this year WE4G will be welcoming applications from all over the world. Wherever you are based, you can apply and follow the programme!
- Increasing the impact: this year WE4G will support projects that aim to achieve a social or environmental goal! If your project tackles one or more SDGs, this programme is for you.
- Ensuring quality and diversity: WE4G 3.0 will shortlist 10 varied projects for the final stage of the programme, the HEC Incubator.
For any further information please contact: tessa.robinson@womens-forum.com
WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY?
- A programme for all: the first phase of the programme will support 100+ women entrepreneurs through market and customer research coaching, and business model support in an intense three-day Startup Sprint. Even if your project is at a very early stage, do not hesitate to apply, this phase is designed for you.
- Perfect your pitching skills: the semi-finalists will be offered the opportunity to pitch in front of an esteemed Grand Jury from the international entrepreneurship network.
- Access to a variety of experts: the 10 finalists will attend a 3-month online incubator program, receiving business coaching, technical support and professional connections.
- Visibility and networking: the 10 “WomenEntrepreneurs4Good” will be invited to showcase their projects at the Women’s Forum Global Meeting 2023 in Paris through a pitching competition in which the jury and public will select their favourite projects.
- Becoming part of a community: you will have access to the Women’s Forum international community of 30K+ influential business leaders, international corporations, like-minded entrepreneurs and more…
YOU SHOULD APPLY IF…
- You are a women founder or co-founders, with at least 2 people in your team
- Your project generates a revenue of less than €20,000 per year
- Your project is designed to tackle a social or environmental challenge
