Deadline: March 21, 2025
Applications are open for the W.E. Build Accelerator 2025 for Women-led Startups. W.E. (Women Entrepreneurs) Build is a holistic business accelerator designed to level the playing field and help women with limited access to resources and funding. W.E. Build helps founders advance their professional development, achieve personal growth, and build companies that catalyze multigenerational wealth.
The W.E. Build accelerator empowers eight to 10 innovative and diverse early-stage startups to create and launch scalable ventures in Tulsa, Oklahoma. W.E. Build seeks to uplift women founders who are often left out of funding opportunities. In 2023 Female Founded companies received less than 3% of venture capital funding, Black women and other minority women received less than that. W.E. Build is rewriting that narrative.
