The first startup accelerator and mentorship-driven program designed for women-founded companies in mobile technology.

WIM’s goal is to provide women entrepreneurs with the guidance, feedback and connections needed to make their startups best in class companies and formidable business concerns.

WIM is a three-month mentorship driven accelerator program and our first program is taking place in New York City. Our companies will receive $18,000 in funding, free office space, product development and design support, mobile-marketing promotions, and access to an incredible network of mentors, funders and advisors. In exchange for our investment and services, we receive a 6% equity stake in each company.
