Who are the Founders?

Chany Ventures founders represent a diverse group of individuals, including both early-stage female-led start ups and traditional businesses seeking to start a business, innovate, raise capital, or just stay afloat. These women are eager to learn and grow, often lacking connections in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, which can hinder their development. They are looking for a supportive, judgment-free environment where they can build essential skills and gain insights from experienced mentors. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you can play a crucial role in empowering these founders to navigate their journeys and foster a more inclusive entrepreneurial landscape.
