ABOUT US
Women-led businesses are among the most successful and resilient, yet they receive only a fraction of the funding and support. The issue isn’t ability - it's the systemic barriers that exist at every turn. From being overlooked by investors to navigating networks that weren’t built for them, female founders are forced to work twice as hard for half the opportunity. The system was never designed with women in mind - so we built a new one. One that gives ambitious female founders the access, support, and strategic backing they need to succeed on their own terms.​
​
HerStartup is about making space for women in business, on their own terms. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just the knowledge, connections, and support to help you make things happen.
​
We know because we’ve been there - navigating funding barriers, being underestimated, and figuring things out the hard way. That’s why HerStartup exists: to make sure you don’t have to do it alone.
​
We’re not just another business platform - we’re your startup partner. Whether you're at the idea stage, gearing up to pitch to investors, or scaling your business, we provide real, practical support to help you get there. That means straight-talking coaching, investor matchmaking, strategic guidance, and the tools you need to build and grow with confidence.
Women don’t just need opportunities - they need clarity, structure, and the space to think.
Too often, female founders are expected to juggle it all - building a business while managing work, life, and everything in between. But success isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing the right things with the right support.
​
At HerStartup, we don’t just hand you resources and expect you to figure it out alone. We provide a structured roadmap, clear next steps, and expert guidance to help you build with intention. Instead of drowning in tasks and uncertainty, you get the strategy, tools, and confidence to move forward.
​
And once you have that solid foundation, we connect you with investors who believe in you.
​
HerStartup exists to remove barriers, open doors, and create a space where women can thrive - without having to prove themselves twice as hard for half the opportunity. Because when women succeed, we all do.
