Her Startup has opened applications for its second cohort, supporting women-led, tech-enabled businesses across Africa with training, stipends, mentorship and potential startup funding.
The program is open to female founders, co-founders or CEOs aged 18 to 35. Applicants must run an African business with an MVP or existing product, generate at least $500 in monthly revenue and have operated for at least six months.
Selected founders will receive 12 weeks of training, with program costs covered and allowances provided in stages. Graduates will be eligible to pitch to the investment committee for seed financing of up to $5,000 through convertible revenue-based financing.
The program also includes six months of mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and experts. Additional support may include access to co-working space and healthcare coverage for one year, according to the program website.
