We know what it's like to start a business with limited experience, funding and resources. You might have a partner in crime, but you're still in need of additional expertise in specific areas and can use a helping hand to get you where you're heading towards. You're more than convinced that your idea is innovative, can make a real difference for women and nothing can stop you from making it come true.
