Disruptive Funding For Global Female Entrepreneurs

SheEO founder Vicki Saunders (pictured below) is out to change the world for the better and her first step is to disrupt the traditional model of funding and investment for female entrepreneurs.

“In general, women were not at the table for designing 1.0 of this world, and we better be there for 2.0,” Saunders declared, and her design for this life involves a makeover of investment to include more women-led businesses.

How does SheEO work?  First, it’s a global collaboration network creating communities of 1,000 women in locations around the world.  Second, each woman in a community contributes $1,000 to what adds up to a $1m fund.  Third, the fund is then used to finance 10 local companies that are female-led, majority female-owned and have at least $50,000 in revenue.
