The number of women entrepreneurs and women-led businesses grows yearly, proving that women are shaping industries and driving economic growth worldwide. However, access to funding is still a major challenge, with the global financing gap for women entrepreneurs estimated to be about $1.7 trillion.
This is why UpGreyed Her exists — to support women entrepreneurs with equity-free funding to help scale your business! 🚀
UpGreyed Her, launched in 2024, is our annual International Women’s Day initiative designed to provide tangible support for women entrepreneurs’ businesses.
Beyond the panels, webinars and conversations, we’re taking action by providing equity-free funding to give them the necessary capital to expand and scale their businesses.
We’re awarding four outstanding women entrepreneurs in manufacturing and production, construction, textiles, hospitality, agriculture, transportation, logistics or tech-enabled sectors like AgricTech, AI-enabled businesses, ClimateTech, EdTech, FemTech, and HealthTech. The first-place winner will receive $4,000, the first and second runners-up will get $2,000 each, and the third runner-up will receive $1,500. We're assembling a panel of distinguished female judges and business, technology, and management experts will carefully select the winners. Keep an eye out on our social media (@greyfinance) for more updates.
