The Equity Studio and Makers Mindset are putting $50,000 behind female founders.
The Equity Studio, a consumer investment firm founded by Anna Sweeting, and Makers Mindset, a resource platform for entrepreneurs launched by Briogeo founder Nancy Twine, have announced their second collaborative grant – for early-stage female founders across beauty and wellness.
Last year, the program received thousands of applications and awarded five brands $50,000 each in equity-free funding, including menstrual health brand Viv, women’s health supplement company Cranel, hair care lines Squigs and Alodia, and body care brand Gently Soap.
This year, each selected company will receive $50,000 in equity-free funding, along with mentorship and business resources.
Applications are open through Oct. 9.
