Our history
We host series of events and launch initiatives to help grow the African technology ecosystem and extend opportunities to startup founders and entrepreneurs. Our focus has always been to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and investment opportunities.
Our flagship event, Women Founders and Funders event in May 2017 highlighted the disparity in funding for women entrepreneurs and the challenges they face doing business as a woman and provide meaningful solutions, and a solid network for women to tap into.
Pursuing Diversity for Women in Tech
We recognise the limited amount of funds that go to women founders and we are committed to help bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and access to capital, so we created Tech In Heels to specifically address the issues that women entrepreneurs face, navigating the challenges related to fundraising to scale their companies and building investment-ready ventures.
