TechFW and Satori Capital have partnered to give five awards of $1,000 each to female entrepreneurs that will enable them to participate in TechFW’s ThinkLab, non-seed accelerator program in the spring.
“We are honored to be part of an initiative that supports entrepreneurship and empowers women in business,” says Satori Capital co-founder Randy Eisenman in a statement. “Our stated purpose is to create, fund, and inspire businesses that elevate humanity, and TechFW is clearly aligned with us in this endeavor.”
TechFW is the leading accelerator and incubator in Tarrant County for technology companies. Satori Capital is a Texas-based, multi-strategy investment firm founded upon the principles of “conscious capitalism.”
The awards provide education, coaching, mentoring and networking with entrepreneurial leaders, and the training to potentially take their ideas to market. The partnership with Satori Capital removes any cost barriers that may hinder a female entrepreneur to participate in the program.
“We’re excited and thankful for Satori Capital’s gift that allows us to expand our support of female innovators,” says Hayden Blackburn, executive director of TechFW. “Just over 50% of our member companies have women on the founding and management teams, and we are excited to grow that support with these awards.”
The Center for Women Entrepreneurs, part of the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, was the first partner for an awards program during 2021.
“Access to capital and entrepreneurial training are often stumbling blocks for woman-owned businesses,” says Tracy Irby, director of the Center for Women Entrepreneurs. “The partnership with TechFW gives women the opportunity to develop their financial strategy and shape new technologies, innovate and improve learning outcomes.”
