Deadline Approaching for Tiger Global Impact Venture’s Accelerate(HER) Fund $50k Grants
In June, Hello Alice announced they were accepting applications for the Accelerate(HER) Fund in partnership with The Global Entrepreneurship Network and Tiger Global Impact Ventures . The fund is headed by Tiger Global Impact Ventures, which is the philanthropic arm of Tiger Global Management, an investment firm focused on public and private companies in the global Internet, software, consumer, and financial technology industries. The Accelerate(HER) Fund provides funding to women entrepreneurs who are “building breakthrough technologies or tech-enabled companies” via grants up to $50,000.
Tiger Global Impact Ventures launched the fund to address the gap in startups founded by diverse teams. The Hello Alice grant site states that “…the numbers of non-binary and women founders have not increased at the same pace. Last year, companies founded solely by women garnered only 2% of the total capital invested in venture-backed startups in the U.S.” The fund is a $1,000,000 commitment from Tiger Global Impact Ventures, which aims “to increase access and accelerate entrepreneurship for women founders.” [Source: Hello Alice]
Criteria for the grant includes that a business must be a for-profit technology or technology-enabled company, must be majority woman-owned and operated (51%+), and must not have (yet) received funding from angel or venture investors.
