Dear fellow women founders, I'm keen to share an incredible opportunity that I'm pretty sure you'll find transformational for your founder journey. Last year, Sync! had the privilege of being selected to participate in the WWBA Assembly and the experience was nothing short of life changing. The unwavering support, valuable connections, and growth opportunities provided by Women Who Build Africa,have been instrumental in our success since. As a testament to the strong collaboration spirit of the community, and all of our commitment to uplifting women entrepreneurs, Spurt! recently partnered with WWBA in celebration of #InternationalWomensDay to host an intensive two-day business leadership workshop for Ghanaian women entrepreneurs. Much like the Assembly, the incredibly impactful event led to tangible revenue impact and relationship building opportunities for participants that persist till this day. With the next WWBA Assembly just around the corner on September 5th-6th, I wholeheartedly encourage you to seize this opportunity to learn, connect, and grow alongside a community of like-minded women. You'll gain invaluable insights, resources, and connections that can propel your venture to new heights. To secure your spot at the WWBA Assembly, get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/degw5cYH 🚀 And as a special opportunity for female founders, you can apply to join the event for free, showcase your amazing venture to the world and potentially win a free yearlong subscription on Sync! https://lnkd.in/d6qVAx5T PS: Don't miss out. I and the team at the Innovate Africa Fund looks forward to seeing you at the WWBA Assembly!
