Women Entrepreneurs
Learn How to Play the Funding Game
Looking for Funding is like a game. Taking your first steps in funding can be intimidating. There is so much to learn, while you still need to manage and build your business at the same time.
Raising funding IS HARDER for women entrepreneurs, where we only get 2.2% of VC Funding worldwide and the global funding ecosystem still favours white male entrepreneurs. We want to change that, and help you get the funding you need!
We'll show you 'How' and the rest is up to you!
We've got your back sister!

A Personal Message from Anne Ravanona
(Founder & CEO of Global Invest Her)
"When I learned about the $300 Billion Funding Gap for Women Entrepreneurs I decided to help change that. My mission is to help women entrepreneurs get ready for funding, get funded faster, and back to building their businesses.
Women Entrepreneurs are the greatest untapped resource in the economy.
Let's Get Funded!"
