Prosus has launched the Tech FoundHER Challenge in India, offering $50,000 in equity-free funding to women-led startups.
The initiative aims to bridge the gender funding gap in India's technology sector and help female founders scale and access international networks.
Thirty startups will be shortlisted, with six finalists pitching in person in May 2025, and three winners receiving $50,000 in non-dilutive capital to accelerate their businesses.
In addition to funding, the challenge provides access to an elite jury of investors and industry leaders to support the participating startups.
