Deadline: 11-Jul-21
Applications are now open for the FourthWave, an Accelerator for Women-Led Technology Businesses Programme to reduce inequality and increase economic growth.
The FourthWave accelerator dedicates an equal effort to leadership awareness and coaching, the development of sound startup business fundamentals and a preparedness for external funding. As part of their program, you will engage in a radical new conversation about leadership, build a robust business and attract capital that supports your values.
Their practices and tools are designed to help entrepreneurs operate as powerful creators in the By Me and Through Me mindsets, and they rely on three foundational programs to introduce their entrepreneurs to this radical new way of leading:
- The Enneagram increases self-awareness and helps leaders understand their learning and leadership style.
- Conscious Leadership supports leaders and their teams to be accountable, build trust and create conscious cultures.
- Equip Power Program provides tools that infuse authenticity into every interaction and uses the principles of power to get more done with less force
- Their leadership work is done in both group settings and in one-on-one coaching sessions and makes up a significant portion of the first phase of the FourthWave program.
Who they Work with?
FourthWave is open to technology companies with at least one female or female-identified founder.
- Business Residency: Sixty percent of selected companies will have their main headquarters located (or be willing to locate) in the greater Sacramento region. Up to forty percent of selected companies may come from other locales.
- Program Location: Their 2021 program will begin virtually and incorporate face-to-face interactions in Sacramento if/when possible. Their virtual work will utilize today’s best practices for creating an interactive, supportive and educational environment in a virtual setting.
- Equity: As a non-profit organization, FourthWave is committed to providing exceptional leadership development, insightful mentors and access to funding. FourthWave does not take an equity stake in participating companies, nor do they currently invest in their cohort companies.
