UNICEF Venture Fund is offering up to $100,000 in equity-free funding to early-stage, for-profit startups leveraging frontier technologies to empower women and girls through innovative solutions. The fund aims to address the specific needs of women and girls in sectors such as healthcare, education, and economic empowerment.
The fund seeks to identify solutions that go beyond just healthcare and address the social and economic drivers that shape women’s participation, agency, and well-being. This includes improving health outcomes through digital health solutions, addressing unique challenges faced by women and girls, and empowering them socially and economically.
UNICEF Venture Fund is particularly interested in solutions that close the gender data gap, improve accessibility for underserved communities, and provide safe access to education and economic opportunities for women and girls. Startups working with artificial intelligence, data science, and blockchain technologies for social impact are encouraged to apply before the May 8, 2025 deadline.
This initiative comes at a time when there is a clear need to bridge the gap between those who benefit from advancing technology and those who are left behind. By supporting innovative solutions that address the diverse needs of women and girls, the UNICEF Venture Fund aims to create positive change and empower marginalized and disadvantaged groups globally.
