AwakenHub's mission to increase opportunities and connectivity for women founders in Ireland

Mission & Vision

2% of funding globally goes to solely women-founded businesses or 13% if you have a male cofounder. The rest goes to male founded teams. We’ve got a problem with that. 

AwakenHub’s mission is to level up opportunity, access and connectivity for women founders throughout the Island of Ireland by removing barriers to investment, scale and success.

Our social impact vision is a society where every founder’s journey is equitable irrespective of gender and where they are based.

Four women founders committed to changing the business ecosystem for women in Ireland

Who We Are

Four women founders from across Ireland on a mission to fundamentally change the founder eco-system and create equity for all.  Unapologetic as long as the statistics stand at 2% of funding in women founded businesses. 

As a community, we are changing things up one woman at a time.

Come join us.
