We know how hard it is to raise funds for impact startups and we are on a mission to change that. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive ecosystem, offering personalized coaching and masterclasses.

At the same time, we understand the unique challenges faced by female founders and are committed to helping them succeed. With the Raise Female program we are dedicated to bridging the funding gap for women entrepreneurs by providing them even more support throughout their fundraising journey.

OUR FOUNDERS

WHO IS THIS FOR?

FOUNDERS BUILDING A COMPANY THAT MATTERS

Diversity, responsibility, and long-term impact aren’t side notes—they’re at the heart of your company. Founders in our program are not just solving problems; they’re shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future.

EARLY-STAGE FOUNDERS WITH SERIOUS DRIVE

They’ve launched their MVPs, started talking to users, maybe even seen some early traction. Founders in our programs know it’s just the beginning—but they’re thinking big and ready to take the next leap.

FOUNDERS WHO BRING SOMETHING OTHERS DON’T

Founders in this program often bring a unique insight, lived experience, or hard-won expertise to the table. They’re not here to replicate what’s already out there—they’re here to build something better. Something with impact, and the resilience to last.
