Created for Nigerian female founders in e-commerce and agribusiness, this initiative offers a powerful blend of training, mentorship, and funding. The 12-week hybrid program is designed to help you scale your business, attract investment, and become part of a wider community of African women entrepreneurs.

Winners will get access to business support and grants of $5,000 or $3,000, depending on their performance during the program.

To qualify, your business must:

• Be majority women-owned (at least 51% equity),

• Be registered and based in Lagos, Abuja, or Abia,

• Be operating in e-commerce or agriculture for 3 years or more.

Beyond funding, what’s truly on offer here is transformation, the kind that comes from personalised mentorship, high-level exposure, and a community that genuinely supports women in business.

If you’re eligible and still considering it, this is your sign. The August 8 deadline is fast approaching.
