Our Model

The Problem

90% of impact ventures are struggling to achieve financial sustainability. Our Global Listening Tour surfaced four consistent pain points, especially among female founders.​

"Walk With Us For Longer - Solving these challenges takes time."

"Accessing funds is tough, it's not a level playing field."

"I need mentorship and networks tailored to my needs."

"Our work impacts the entire community, but how do we measure that?"
