Ten game-changing and industry-disrupting women founders have been selected to join cohort VII of Project W's Women Entrepreneurs Boot Camp (WEB).
WEB is Project W's signature accelerator program that provides female founders the essential tools, resources, and connections they need to get from seed to Series A readiness. WEB aims to help close the startup ecosystem's gender funding gap by bridging the lack of access women face as they seek to build and scale their companies. In collaboration with a faculty of investors and industry experts from the Project W community and attorneys from DWT, WEB is committed to supporting the next generation of tech-enabled companies led by women.
Over 90 companies from various industries across the globe have participated in WEB and gone on to raise a total of over $67M in institutional funding. Project W recognizes that the VC funding gap is starkest for underrepresented founders who have been historically undervalued despite a proven ability to produce outsized returns for investors. We are proud to have graduated a portfolio of companies where almost half are led by a diverse founder.
