What are the Benefits of the Accelerator?
Women-owned businesses receive less than 3% of all VC investments. Seeds of Fortune is challenging the Status Quo by developing young women innovators to participate in our competitive Girls Start-Up Accelerator to learn funding from an earlier age.
This one-year program helps HS Scholars access the tools, resources, and networks necessary to supercharge social impact ideas.
We help them formulate their ideas and provide the necessary feedback and funding streams to turn their ideas into action.
