Why It Matters
Women entrepreneurs are at the heart of Africa’s future. Yet they often face disproportionate challenges when it comes to access to capital, visibility, mentorship, and supportive networks. The African Women Founders Summit is not just an event — it is a movement to address those gaps and build bridges to opportunity.
Through this partnership, we aim to celebrate these women, spotlight their ventures, and ensure their stories are heard, respected, and shared across the continent and beyond.
To the women founders of Africa — we see you, we celebrate you, and we are here to tell your story.
