Global financial technology company Grey has awarded a total of $9,500 in equity-free grants to outstanding women entrepreneurs from Brazil and Nigeria as part of its ‘Upgreyed Her 2025’ initiative. The program, aimed at bridging gender gaps in entrepreneurship and tech, celebrates female-led innovation in emerging markets.
What’s New?
The Upgreyed Her 2025 campaign was launched on International Women’s Day, calling for applications from women-led startups across Brazil and Nigeria. After rigorous screening, five winners were selected based on their business impact, innovation, and community contribution.
“This initiative is about much more than capital—it’s about giving visibility, validation, and a voice to women driving change in their communities,” said Grey’s spokesperson.
Why It Matters:
- Women entrepreneurs in emerging economies often face challenges accessing capital, mentorship, and global markets
- Empowering women-led startups boosts local economies, job creation, and health innovation
- The grant supports diverse industries, including FemTech, healthcare access, and digital health tools
Grey’s Global Vision:
By promoting financial access and borderless banking, Grey aims to democratize fintech tools for underserved founders globally—especially women in health, tech, and education sectors.
