Deadline: 3-Jan-23
The Allia Future Business Centre is accepting applications for Cambridge Impact Accelerator – Female Founders, 6 months of intensive workshops and support to take you to the next level in your impact journey.
Offers
- They’re dedicated to helping founders like you create solutions that respond to long standing economic and social issues, that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Female-led start-ups encounter various set of challenges during the early stage of their ventures. As they move toward achieving global goals in gender equality and reduced inequality, there is a growing concern on the gap in financing start-up ventures founded by women entrepreneurs in the UK.
- Further, many female founders struggle with unconscious bias that leads to limited access to funding and other non-financial resources such as guidance, mentorship, and network to develop and grow their businesses at the same time juggle with multiple responsibilities.
- If this is you, they can offer 6 months dedicated support with:
- Expert led workshops, from marketing & operations to fundraising & investment
- Mentorship & coaching tailored to your start-ups needs
- Collaborate & grow with a cohort of other impact founders
