SME.NG has opened applications for the She Works Here Hybrid Accelerator March 2026 Cohort, a pre-investment readiness programme designed to support female entrepreneurs in strengthening their businesses and preparing to attract investors.
The programme is aimed at helping female-led businesses improve their operations, build sustainable growth strategies, and become better positioned to access funding opportunities.
According to SME.NG, the She Works Here Hybrid Accelerator provides a structured learning environment where participants can strengthen and streamline their business operations while gaining practical knowledge on scaling their ventures.
Participants will also receive specialised training on how to pitch their businesses effectively to investors. The programme includes a dedicated pitch module led by an industry expert, as well as hands-on pitch practice sessions where entrepreneurs will receive personalised feedback to refine their presentations.
In addition to the training sessions, the accelerator offers participants the opportunity to join a network of women entrepreneurs. This community is designed to encourage collaboration, peer learning, and support among female business leaders working to grow their enterprises.
