An Accelerator Advancing Black and Latinx Women Founders
The Accelerator provides a platform for Black and Latinx women founders to become powerhouse startup contenders in the tech ecosystem. Our founders work with seasoned professionals in and around the tech community for 10 weeks, closing the program with opportunities to connect directly to investors and other sources of capital.
It was created to address the lack of support, presence and funding for women, and to showcase black and brown women as successful businesses owners fueling innovation for the 21st century.
Women 2.0 is the official partner of Organizer Playbook Capital.
