THE WOMEN ACCELERATOR WINDOW IV PITCH DAY: CELEBRATING OUR WINNERS!
We’re
excited to celebrate the remarkable women-led businesses that emerged
victorious at the Women Accelerator Window IV Pitch Day! This milestone
event marks a significant step forward in empowering women entrepreneurs who
are driving change within their communities.
Through
Mkazipreneur, six exceptional businesses from across Uganda were
selected to participate in the program. These businesses have demonstrated not
only entrepreneurial excellence but also a deep commitment to
creating lasting social and economic impact. With a focus on empowering other
women and young people, their work extends far beyond profit—enriching lives
and communities.
After successfully navigating a three-day pre-selection bootcamp and on-site due diligence visits, four businesses stood out with their innovation, resilience, and business acumen. Each has been awarded $20,000 in seed funding to scale their operations and deepen their community impact.

IV—innovation, sustainability, and empowerment. Their dedication to creating
positive change is an inspiration, and this seed funding will enable them to
