Village Capital has invested $200,000 in three women-led startups, including Pakistan startup BeMe, as part of the Women in Tech Financing Facility.
The three startups—BeMe (Pakistan), Dabchy (Tunisia), and FreshSource (Egypt)—were selected for their impactful solutions addressing local challenges in mental health, sustainability, and agriculture.
BeMe is a mental health platform in Pakistan offering 24/7 access to certified therapists for individuals and the diaspora, aiming to address the nation’s shortage of mental health professionals.
Empowering women entrepreneurs and overcoming funding barriers for women-led businesses are key focus areas, given the low funding accessibility for women-led startups in regions like MENA and Pakistan.
