Empowering Women Entrepreneurs & Business Owners
Empowering Women Entrepreneurs & Business Owners
The US economy is increasingly reliant on the work and determination of female entrepreneurs. Women are starting and running businesses at a staggering rate, having started 1,821 new businesses every day last year! Receiving just 3% of venture funds for their startups, women have a 69.5% success rate of crowdfunding for their businesses. This is the story we see and hear every day and the reason why AngeLink launched our Angel Grant program to support Women Entrepreneurs!

Leah founded the Wema (Swahili for wellness) Health Foundation to empower women and girls in Kenya with access to formal education and reproductive health services. “My Angel Grant will be used to hold a retreat for girls to provide a safe space for them to seek refuge from FGM."

Dee founded Against All Odds, a mentoring program where she mentors teen parents and helps them navigate life. “As part of my program I want to offer workshops where ALL TEENS can get information on both health and life skills. This money will allow me to offer these workshops and continue to help these teens.”
