SayPro, in collaboration with the United States Peace Corps, is providing access to capital for women-led tech startups to bridge the gender financing gap in the innovation sector. SayPro recognizes that women in technology often face systemic challenges when seeking funding, despite having high-potential solutions. Through targeted grant programs, angel investor networks, and pitch competitions, SayPro ensures that talented women innovators receive the resources needed to scale. Peace Corps volunteers support SayPro by providing technical mentoring and investment readiness coaching.
SayPro’s capital access program also includes one-on-one coaching in business modeling, marketing, and investor communication. Peace Corps volunteers work closely with SayPro to equip women founders with the skills to confidently pitch their startups. SayPro emphasizes inclusion and provides support services such as child-friendly workspaces and flexible training hours to make the program accessible to working mothers and caregivers.
SayPro connects women-led startups with global investors through demo days, innovation expos, and online funding platforms. SayPro also helps participants navigate financial documentation, legal registrations, and intellectual property rights to ensure investment security and transparency. Peace Corps volunteers support SayPro by conducting tech showcases that highlight participants’ innovations to potential collaborators and customers.
SayPro evaluates success by tracking investment raised, user acquisition, and technology scalability. Women supported by SayPro report increased visibility, stronger business networks, and a higher rate of tech product adoption. With Peace Corps partnership, SayPro is breaking barriers in tech entrepreneurship and building a more inclusive and diverse digital economy led by empowered women.
