FourthWave, Inc. is a leading accelerator for women tech entrepreneurs. We are committed to changing the narrative around gender equity, and a core part of that story is seen through an economic lens. Investing in women is one of the most effective ways to reduce inequality and increase economic growth. FourthWave creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to chart a new course in business culture with an innovative curriculum designed to facilitate our entrepreneurs’ growth as impactful, conscious leaders.

FOURTHWAVE’S APPROACH

FourthWave accelerator dedicates an equal effort to leadership awareness and coaching, the development of sound startup business fundamentals, and preparedness for external funding. As part of the program, female founders engage in a radical new conversation about leadership, build a robust business, and attract capital that supports their values.

DEVELOPING SOUND BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS

Through a series of business assessment processes, female founders work with FourthWave business coaches to assess key areas of their businesses to prepare for funding. This includes clear identification of unmet needs, market size, revenue potential, investment return, liquidity horizon, technical strategy, product development risk, intellectual property, and go-to-market strategies. This work serves as the foundation for the final phase – funding!

PREPAREDNESS FOR EXTERNAL FUNDING

Funding requires more than just a great pitch deck. The FourthWave accelerator assists female founders in filling the gaps identified through the Sound Business Fundamentals process, helping them to identify funding sources specifically for their businesses, provide insight and feedback on investor messaging, and provide opportunities to present to prospective investors.
