Deadline: November 22, 2024

Applications are open for the Growth4Her Accelerator Program for Women Entrepreneurs. Are you a Nigerian woman entrepreneur ready to take your business to the next level? Apply now for Growth4Her Cohort 4 and unlock the full potential of your SME.

According to the African Development Bank (AfDB) 2021 report, there’s a $42 billion gender financing gap in Africa. As an AFAWA Women Entrepreneurship Enabler, Growth4Her addresses this challenge head-on. This investor-readiness accelerator program is co-created and implemented by Creative Space Startups, Sociocapital Impact Group, The Learning Gate, and ActivSpaces.

Launched in 2022, the initiative has received over 1,500 applications from Nigeria and Cameroon across its first three cohorts. To date, more than 300 women entrepreneurs have benefited from the program, seeing tangible results such as increased revenue, expanded market reach, improved mental health through psychosocial support sessions, and enhanced business management practices. Their vibrant, close-knit community of over 500 women fosters strong connections among our alumni, serving as a rich resource for opportunities, collaborations, partnerships, and first-hand funding and visibility opportunities. They are on a mission to support 1,500 women entrepreneurs across West Africa over the next five years.

Benefits

  • Expert mentoring from seasoned entrepreneurs and industry leaders who have walked the path.
  • Receive tailored training to address your business’s needs and challenges.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded women entrepreneurs and potential partners.
  • Explore alternative funding options and learn how to pitch your business effectively.
  • Receive psychosocial support and guidance to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Eligibility

  • Women-led businesses based in Nigeria;
  • Minimum 51% or 20% woman-owned with a female CEO/COO;
  • At least 30% female board representation (if a board exists);
  • 5-300 employees;
  • Annual sales between US$35,000 – US$15 million;
  • Assets ranging from US$100,000 – US$15 million;
