Following a successful pilot phase, which supported 11 early-stage startups in FinTech, HealthTech, EdTech, and RetailTech, the initiative is now widening its net. This time, it is turning its focus towards traditionally underserved but vital sectors, including Agricultural Services, Health and Social Care, Childcare and Early Education, and Hospitality and Domestic Services.
In its inaugural phase, the programme worked closely with 11 women-led startups in high-growth verticals such as financial inclusion, health innovation, education access, and digital commerce. These startups received investment preparation, pitch refinement, and strategic positioning, culminating in several successful funding rounds and strategic partnerships.
According to the BCG, Phase 2 promises to take the initiative further by focusing on sectors often overlooked by mainstream venture capital, despite their potential to create jobs, drive social impact, and contribute to GDP.
