HerVenture in Mexico

Our award-winning business skills learning app, HerVenture, is now available to women entrepreneurs in Mexico, offering essential training and support on the go!

With support from partners, our award-winning HerVenture app has been made available to women entrepreneurs in Mexico!

Women entrepreneurs in Mexico face many challenges in starting, formalising, and growing their businesses. While 70% of women owners of small and growing businesses want financing to grow, only 13% have actually obtained a loan. What’s more, women in Mexico City spend an average of 10.8 hours more per week than men on unpaid household and care work, leaving them with less time to dedicate to their businesses.

The HerVenture app addresses these challenges by providing relevant, flexible and practical business training that is tailored to women’s needs. Through the app, women gain foundational business knowledge and skills, confidence and self-belief to start and grow businesses, support their entrepreneurial journeys and digitise their enterprises. HerVenture offers essential business training and support on the go. It features a range of learning tracks on topics including launching a business, accessing finance, expanding market access, e-commerce, and more.

For the first time, the app is now available in Spanish, on Android and iOS.
