According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, Nigeria has the most female entrepreneurs globally. However, women-led businesses in Nigeria are disproportionately affected by the socioeconomic issues threatening the country’s SMEs.

It will support 10 women-led pre-seed tech startups and SMEs with over N20m in marketing support and brand awareness.
