Grants Program
Awarding Grants to Overlooked Tech Startups

Tech Startup Grants Program
November 2022
Helping to close the funding gap by backing overlooked tech startups globally.

Women Who Tech transformed the Women Startup Challenge at Google to the Women Who Tech Startup Grants Program to continue funding game-changing, overlooked startups virtually during the pandemic.

How Does the Grants Program Work?

Equity-free grants will be awarded by Women Who Tech to overlooked tech startups on a rolling basis through 2023. 

For each grant period:

  • Women Who Tech will open a call for applicants based on different themes. Sign up for alerts about each grant cycle
  • Our jury and grants committee will select five finalists to participate in our virtual pitch coaching and pitch series.
  • Startups may re-apply for grants as long as they meet the eligibility criteria and were not already awarded a grant from the Women Who Tech Startup Grants program.
