A Nigerian startup has announced the launch of its second accelerator cohort, focusing on supporting 10 African women-led technology firms. The initiative, known as Her Startup, aims to foster innovation and investment in the tech sector by empowering female entrepreneurs across the continent.
The program will provide selected startups with mentorship, funding, and networking opportunities to scale their businesses. Participants will receive tailored support to enhance their business models and access to potential investors. The cohort is expected to include startups from various African countries, highlighting the growing role of women in the tech industry.
Her Startup has previously supported a number of successful ventures, contributing to the expansion of tech ecosystems in Africa. This new cohort builds on that momentum, aiming to address gender gaps in entrepreneurship and promote economic growth through innovation. The initiative reflects a broader trend of increasing investment in women-led startups across the continent, driven by both local and international stakeholders.
