Why Romania?

While almost 40% of the entrepreneurs in Romania are women, boosting greater equality is necessary as Romania still trails the European Union average for gender representation in business. Prosus and Endeavor Romania want to meet this challenge head-on with the current edition of the Prosus Found-HER Challenge in Europe.

The Prosus Found-HER Challenge is a high-impact selection program designed to support women-led startups and champion female founders, and has already supported nearly 1,300 women founders across India and Africa. The program offers equity-free funding, access to Prosus' international network, and the scaling expertise of our program Partners.

Through the program we aim to empower communities of female founders who are reshaping the business landscape around the world.
