In 2024, we commenced our partnership with Australian not-for-profit Global Sisters to run a free business accelerator coaching program aimed at helping female business owners accelerate and grow their businesses. The phenomenal, free three-month program is customised to the business needs of the individual to help make business possible for women who have faced barriers in their entrepreneurial journey. Some of the barriers we know women face in starting or growing a business include a lack of confidence and self-belief, lack of business skills, and lack of access to finance. We hope that through our mentorship we can help people work through some of these challenges.
