PWE Startup Accelerator Fall 2016

Every day in America, women start more than 1,200 new companies. That number has doubled since 2011. But getting those ideas off the ground isn't easy. Prosper Women Entrepreneurs is changing that.

We’re looking for women-led startups with a focus on technology, health care, and consumer products. We define a women-led business as a company with at least one woman in a position of leadership and significant and meaningful equity.

Are you creating the next big thing in technology? Disrupting something? Apply here now!

What companies can expect:

- $50,000 for a negotiated equity position
- Follow-on funding of up to $100,000
- No need to relocate the company
