2020 Women-Led GSBI Accelerator Program
This first-ever Women-Led GSBI Accelerator
WE ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING FOR OUR NEXT GSBI® ONLINE ACCELERATOR FOR WOMEN-LED SOCIAL ENTERPRISES.
Miller Center delivers world-class accelerator programs that connect global social enterprise leaders with Silicon Valley business executives to develop more sustainable, scalable market-based solutions to the problems of those living in poverty around the world.
In support of the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, Miller Center is focused on supporting women’s economic growth. Investing in women’s economic empowerment globally sets a direct path toward gender equality, poverty eradication, and inclusive economic growth. We want to support more women to become successful social entrepreneurs by offering an all-women cohort that provides a space for collaboration among women and a focus on women’s leadership in addition to building a sustainable and scalable business.
This first-ever Women-Led GSBI Online cohort will kick off in May 2020!
