HERCCELERATE aims to provide selected female founders with coaching, grant funding, technological tools and access to potential investors. Up to 40 women-led tech startups will be selected to participate in this inaugural edition of HERCCELERATE. Over the next five years, our goal is to empower up to 200 women-led tech startups.
