Unlock Her Future Prize
"It's like Shark Tank. But with a purpose. For women."
The Unlock Her Future Prize is an annual start-up competition that identifies, funds, and accelerates women-led social enterprises tackling gender-based violence. Each year, the Prize travels to a new region — spotlighting bold women building ventures that advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We identify women who are already changing the world — and give them the funding, the platform, and the network to do it at scale.
Women founders. Any age. Any background.
