Applications are now open for the Wetech PitchHer 2026 Investment Readiness Programme, an eight-week accelerator designed to help women-led startups in Nigeria become investment-ready while providing an opportunity to compete for a share of the ₦8.5 million funding pool.
Organised by Wetech in partnership with the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub, the programme equips female founders with the skills, mentorship, and investor readiness support needed to raise capital, strengthen their businesses, and confidently pitch to investors.
If you’re a female founder preparing to scale your startup and attract investment, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
What is the Wetech PitchHer Programme?
The Wetech PitchHer Investment Readiness Programme is designed to prepare women entrepreneurs for fundraising by helping them refine their business models, strengthen their investment strategies, and improve their pitching skills.
Over eight weeks, selected founders will receive intensive training, mentorship, and coaching before pitching their businesses at the Wetech 2026 Conference.
The programme is ideal for startups that already have a product or service in the market and are preparing to raise investment.
Why This Programme Matters
Access to finance remains one of the biggest challenges facing women entrepreneurs across Africa.
Many promising startups struggle to attract investors because they lack investment readiness, strong financial models, compelling pitch decks, or access to the right networks.
The Wetech PitchHer Programme helps bridge this gap by providing practical fundraising support, investor connections, and business development resources.
Beyond the funding opportunity, participants gain valuable exposure that can open doors to future partnerships and investment.

Applicants must:
- Be founders or co-founders of women-led startups
- Be based in Nigeria
- Operate an early-stage startup with a product or service already in the market
- Have early customer traction or a validated business problem
- Be building a scalable, impact-driven venture
- Be preparing to raise investment within the next 12–18 months

Successful participants will benefit from:
- An intensive 8-week Investment Readiness Programme
- Expert-led training on fundraising and business growth
- One-on-one mentorship and coaching
- Support to strengthen business models
- Assistance in developing investor-ready pitch decks
