Profile
Prosper Women Entrepreneurs is a for-profit organization based in St. Louis, focusing on accelerating women-led startups by increasing their access to growth capital and early stage investment markets. Founded in 2012 by St. Louis community leaders, the organization was established after a report placed the city low in rankings for female-led businesses, prompting action to enhance the economic participation of women. Prosper stands out for its mission to support gender diversity in entrepreneurship and capitalize on the untapped potential of women entrepreneurs. The organization drives investments in early-stage enterprises led by women across various sectors without specific sub-sector limitations. By focusing on empowering women entrepreneurs, Prosper Women Entrepreneurs prioritizes impact and potential rather than traditional sector categorizations. The focus is generally on startups and early-stage companies that demonstrate a strong leadership framework. While the management funds size has not been disclosed, the mission suggests smaller, targeted investments. Notable companies supported by Prosper Women Entrepreneurs include LeanMedia - a digital media company, KiraKira - an online education platform, Janus Choice - healthcare solutions provider, FetchFind - pet industry services, and Humblee - a technology services company.
