Girl Effect Accelerator

About

The world’s first accelerator dedicated to the most powerful force for change on the planet:adolescent girls. The Nike Foundation (co-founders of the Girl Effect) and Unreasonable Group have partnered to launch an intensive two-week program for entrepreneurs leading wildly innovative startups that are positioned to benefit millions of girls in poverty: they are calling it the “Girl Effect Accelerator.” The Girl Effect Accelerator will commence in November 2014, and will connect 10 select ventures with world-class mentors, strategic financing and access to a global network of support. The accelerator aims to rapidly increase the positive impact these ventures already have for girls living in poverty. They are also welcoming 3 entrepreneurs in residence to join the program in an effort to help take their efforts to scale.
