W21
Image
The W21 Advanced Entrepreneur Program cohort exclusively included Women-led startup teams. The intention was to support women founders by creating a program that both pushes their businesses forward and makes space for conversations that address the reality of sexism in the startup community. The selected startups participated in our 8-week seed accelerator, where they validated their idea and developed the business foundation needed to grow a profitable and scalable business.
