Advancing Women’s Leadership, Capital & Global Influence
A high-level convening bringing together 3,000+ women-led businesses with industry leaders, investors, financial institutions and policymakers to strengthen agency, expand influence, unlock capital, and accelerate the growth of women-led businesses.
Women-led businesses need access to build at scale
Across Africa, women-led businesses continue to face barriers to the knowledge, relationships, influence, and capital required to grow beyond their current scale.
HerSphere bridges these gaps by focusing on the three forces that shape business growth:
Agency
Circle of Self
Influence
Circle of Others
Capital
Circle of Resources
A Brighter Future for Women-Led Businesses
HerSphere envisions an economy where women-led businesses are not limited by gaps in access, but equipped to participate meaningfully in the markets, industries, and decisions shaping Africa’s economic future.
We want to help create an environment where a woman building a business can access the knowledge to make better decisions, the relationships that open new markets and partnerships, the institutions that shape policy and opportunity, and the capital required to take her business to the next level.
Three Forces. One Platform for Growth
HerSphere is built around three interconnected forces that shape how women-led businesses grow.
Agency
Building the confidence, knowledge, leadership capacity, and decision-making ability women need to lead their businesses.
Influence
Expanding access to influential networks, markets and partnerships that create new opportunities for growth.
Capital
Connecting women-led businesses to investors, financial institutions, funding opportunities, and the resources required to scale.
