Dear founder/potential founder/entrepreneur/explorer,
You have probably googled “funding for women entrepreneurs” at least once. Maybe more than once. And you got back a wall of logos, acronyms, and application portals that all blurred together.
You closed the tab.
I know because I have been on the other side of those programs. I have sat in government meetings where we designed them. I have advised the banks that distribute them. I have reviewed the applications. And the thing that always got me was this: the women who most deserved to access these opportunities had no idea they existed.
I am Olimpija. I have spent a decade working across development banks, ministries, climate funds, and investment programs in more than 30 both developed and developing countries. I have helped mobilize hundreds of millions in finance. And the question I kept getting asked, over coffee, over WhatsApp, after panels, was always some version of:
What finance and growth support is actually out there for me?
There are billions sitting in grant programs, loan facilities, equity funds, accelerators, mentorship schemes, and IFI windows across ninety countries. Some are perfect for you right now. Some will be perfect in a year. Some are a waste of your time. And nobody has put that information in one place and made it honest.
That is what herFunds is. Not another accelerator, fund or program. Just clarity of timely information and guidance on whether it fits your stage and needs.
What exists. Who it is actually for. What stage you need to be at. What you would actually walk away with. And what women who have been through it honestly have to say — not the testimonial on the website, the real take.
You should not need to know someone like me to get that information. You should just be able to find it.
Come find it.
Olimpija,
Founder, herFunds
