Fearless Fund, the world’s first venture capital firm built by women of colour for women of colour, and a global leader in economic inclusion, has announced its official expansion into Africa with the launch of the Fearless Microfinance Fund in Ghana. This launch marks a significant step in advancing Fearless Fund’s mission to close the global wealth gap by improving access to capital for under-resourced women entrepreneurs. “Expanding our mission to Africa has always been central to closing the global wealth gap,” said Her Majesty Queen Wa Arian Simone, CEO and Founding Partner of Fearless Fund. Its Get Venture Ready (GVR) programme has equipped over 1,000 women with investor-readiness training, mentorship, and tools to scale sustainable businesses. The launch of the Fearless Microfinance Fund will be supported by a series of engagement and activation initiatives aimed at empowering women entrepreneurs and strengthening Ghana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
