Impact at HerMeNow is about giving back by building forward. Through access, visibility, mentorship and collaboration, we support women in navigating real-world challenges while contributing to stronger, more inclusive economies.
2022 Impact
Accelerator Cycle 1
In 2022, HerMeNow launched its first women entrepreneur accelerator program, supporting 10 women-led enterprises through an intensive, multi-month initiative focused on digital marketing strategy and investment readiness.
Founders received structured training, dedicated mentorship, and peer-to-peer learning, resulting in a strong Net Promoter Score of 9.2. This inaugural cycle laid the foundation for HerMeNow’s support model by combining practical business skill-building with long-term entrepreneurial confidence and a growing community of women founders.
2023 Impact
Accelerator Cycle 2
Building on the success of the first cycle, the 2023 HerMeNow accelerator expanded its curriculum to include customer discovery, digital marketing, financial planning, and pitching for investment.
During the program, 10 women-led businesses received targeted training and mentorship, achieving an exceptional Net Promoter Score of 9.9. Participants reported clearer strategic direction, stronger market focus, and measurable business progress, reinforcing the impact of HerMeNow’s approach to supporting women entrepreneurs through structured, high-impact learning and mentorship.
2024 - 2025
During 2024–2025, HerMeNow shifted its focus to direct grant support for women-led enterprises, enabling women entrepreneurs to access funding without the time and structural commitments typically associated with cohort-based accelerator programs.
While HerMeNow remained open to supporting women founders globally, activity during this period was largely concentrated in the MENA region, where access to early-stage capital for women-led businesses continues to be limited. This regional emphasis reflected both on-ground demand and HerMeNow’s strategic intent to deepen impact through locally relevant support.
Through this approach, HerMeNow continued giving back by supporting women entrepreneurs and women-led startups through financial enablement, regionally relevant funding, and flexible support models, complementing earlier accelerator-led initiatives with a more targeted and inclusive form of support.
