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.
