EnrichHER’s technology provides a seamless platform for investors to offer accessible capital to women led ventures.

Since inception, EnrichHER hasexperienced over 19,000 engagements and featured 163 female founders who have collectively received over 10 Million in financing from investors, accelerators and grant opportunities.

The technology and vetting process behind the business enables investors to provide capital to female founders in an affordable and non-dilutive manner. “We are at the forefront of advancing entrepreneurship for a traditionally underserved genre,” CEO Dr. Novellus shares. Women-led businesses are among the fastest growing enterprise segments, making some of the largest contributions to America’s GDP. EnrichHER aims to bridge the gap between innovative ideas and accessibility to investment.
