About the Impact Accelerator
“Empowering women remains a common denominator and a global imperative for all those who care about fairness and diversity, but also productivity and growth of societies and economies that are more inclusive. If we can achieve this, we all gain.”- Christine Lagarde.
Female-led start-ups encounter various set of challenges during the early stage of their ventures. As we 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 Alberta. 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. We’re offering 6 months of intensive support and training sessions to help you build your confidence and take your start–up or solution to the next level in your impact journey.
Our mentors, coaches and networks will work to accelerate your growth and open up new opportunities with talent, investors & suppliers. We will work with your business to develop it in a sustainable way, while solving some of the world’s greatest challenges.
Who the Accelerator is for
Late pre-seed or seed, Black female-led start-ups that aim to address the most pressing local and global challenges. You will have demonstrated traction and are now looking to develop and scale up your business. Black Female founders must be living/operating in Alberta.
The Impact Accelerator Black Female Founders is also open for ventures that have women co-founders with key leadership roles (i.e., CEO, COO, CFO or CMO).
Why Us?
We know there are countless “accelerators” out there for start-ups, but few have the experience, resources and network to help scale impact ventures like HER Entrepreneur. We are intimately familiar with the challenges that both traditional start-ups and impact businesses face and have built a program with you in mind. Our team and network of expert coaches and mentors are committed to accelerating your business forward to address some of society’s greatest challenges.
