Crowdcube announced on Monday it has formed a partnership with Global Invest Her, an online funding community specifically for female entrepreneurs. The equity crowdfunding platform reported it is set to help elevate and educate female entrepreneurs and give them the best advice to better prepare themselves for their funding journeys.
The Crowdcube team revealed:
“This new affiliation with Global Invest Her allows Crowdcube to further provide female founders to access a wealth of knowledge and coaching to spring-board their companies to the next level. Global Invest Her has a global community of female founders and provides them with practical resources, including access to mentors, exclusive funding journeys and essential educational assets.
