E26: Building Asia's largest business platform to help women founders thrive: Anna Wong and Ines Gafsi, Co-Founders of Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide

Today we don’t have one but two guests.

I'm delighted to introduce Anna Wong and Ines Gafsi, the co-founders of Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide (FEW), Asia-Pacific's largest platform for female founders with a growing community of over 20,000 members.

Eight years ago, Anna and Ines took a leap of faith and left their traditional careers to start FEW. Since then, they've helped hundreds of women entrepreneurs scale their companies. But they didn't stop there. They also founded the FEW Accelerator, providing cash investments, mentorship, media exposure, and a network of investors to help female-led startups in the ESG space reach new heights.

Join us as we dive into their journey, and learn about their mission to empower women in business. And if you like what you hear, please don't forget to subscribe and comment - we would love to hear from you!
