We are thrilled to announce the launch of the fourth edition of our accelerator program, ShEquity Business Accelerator (#SHEBA). The 17-week SHEBA program provides venture-building and technical support to #African female entrepreneurs across the ECOWAS region who are looking to successfully grow their businesses and become investment-ready.
Established in March 2021 in collaboration with our implementation partner, MBC Africa, SHEBA addresses the existing gender funding gap by de-risking African female-led businesses, getting them to become investment-ready, and equipping the founders with the skill set needed to grow and scale their businesses.
The SHEBA program has executed three (3) cohorts of 30 participants each, with participants from Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.
