Are you looking to close equity gaps in wealth, education, and accessibility? Do you have a developing product or venture contributing to one or more of the UN’s 17 SDGs? If yes, and you are looking to scale up, the EquityTech Fellowship 2024 is looking for you.

The Fellowship is a prestigious program empowering entrepreneurs to harness the power of technology for social good. It focuses on EquityTech ventures operating in sectors such as FinTech, Future of Work, Assistive Tech, and EdTech. You’re the perfect fit if your venture aims to increase social and financial inclusion while closing equity gaps.
