About

XXcelerate Fund provides a uniquely powerful combination of business education, peer support and a pathway to financing. It's a model that has been proven to produce higher rates of success.

The XXcelerator program exists to provide the support and resources that help womxn-owned businesses reach the success they define for themselves.
