Empowering women founders to launch and grow successful tech businesses

About this Accelerator

DID YOU KNOW only 2.2% of venture funding goes to women founded companies - yet when funded, they deliver 35% higher ROI than male-led firms.

DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THIS? We at ELEVACAO certainly do too!

Founded in New York, ELEVACAO is a global pre-accelerator for women tech founders. Since launch, we’ve empowered 165 women across the U.S. and Australia who have raised $80m+ and produced 3 Exits!

A sample of ELEVACAO alumni's success post-graduation include:

* 3 Exits - 2019, 2020 and 2021

* Christy Laurence | Founder @ Plann (2017 alumni) has surpassed 2 million downloads across 160 countries and ranked top 800 grossing apps in the world - all bootstrapped

* Manuri Gunawardena | Founder @ HealthMatch, (2017 alumni) went from idea, going through our program to launch and seed funding within 12 months. Has since raised Series B round and the winner of TechCrunch Battlefield Australia.

*Dr Silvia Pfeiffer | Co-Founder & CEO Coviu Global (2016 alumni). Spinout from CSIRO with $1m seed investment from Main Sequence Ventures. Has since raised Series A round.

Our 100% virtual program is designed to accelerate women tech founders through the early stage (pre-seed/seed) of business growth - equipping our founders with the confidence, skills, knowledge and connections they need to get investor ready and raise funding.
