How We Work

Around the world, women seek to create businesses and projects in service of their dreams. However, they generally lack the financial, technical or emotional support to pursue these enterprises or to make them a success. And, most often, the enterprises they create are under-recognized, under-valued and under-resourced.

Our organization recognizes the spirit of Rebellious Dreamers and is dedicated to support these women to launch, recover, sustain or expand their enterprises, whether those are businesses, organizations or projects.

We offer the kind of trust, flexibility and commitment to their dreams that these Rebellious Dreamers deserve, yet can find nowhere else.

Our Values

Respect, Safety, Inclusion, Integrity, Curiosity, Courage

Our Mission

To provide the lift for women  to nurture their spirits.

Our Vision

A world in which all women thrive.

“Let us make our future now; and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality.”

– Malala Yousafzai
