Get involved

The gap is people, not plans

We are not short of women who want to build something. We are short of people who have done it before and will spend a few hours a month saying so.

Become a mentor or volunteer

Give a few hours a month

Three ways, and the honest time each one takes. You do not need to have run a large business — you need to have run one at all.

Mentor an entrepreneur

About two hours a month, for a year

One woman, building one business, in a sector you know. You are not teaching a syllabus — you are the person she can ask whether a price is too low, or whether a customer is worth chasing. Most of our participants have never had access to someone who has done it before.

Run a session

Half a day, once or twice a year

Accounting, packaging, digital marketing, dealing with banks, GST. If you do it professionally, you can teach the working version of it in an afternoon to a room of twenty.

Help at an event

A day, occasionally

Registration desks, stall setup, photography, moving between Marathi and English for a visiting speaker. Unglamorous and the reason events run at all.

Offer your time

Send it in two minutes

Somebody reads every one of these — we will come back to you even if the answer is not yet.

Three short steps — what you would like to do, who you are, and your time.

Offer your time
