Women tech founders drive innovation, the tech ecosystem and the global economy. However, they also encounter disproportionate barriers to business growth compared to their male counterparts.
That’s why women-identifying founders that come to the DMZ receive additional opportunities and specialized support to support their growth – on top of the standard programming that all founders get.
Added benefits that women founders in DMZ programs can tap into include:
- A strong peer support group of other women tech founders, mentors, and industry leaders and additional hands-on support from DMZ staff
- Introductions to funders dedicated to women founders and partnership opportunities
- Amplified company exposure and heightened visibility through marketing and PR opportunities
- Access to exclusive cutting-edge content, workshops, resources, discounts, events and more
The above benefits vary by program.
