My main mission and focus is to make entrepreneurial resources accessible to female entrepreneurs regardless of their background, income, knowledge or experience that hinder them from pursuing their entrepreneurial purpose.

I am dedicated to raising awareness about challenges and barriers faced by female entrepreneurs such as lack of essential business support, entrepreneurial education and mentorship, networks and industry experts as well as lack of access to various funding and investment opportunities.

Professionally, I am an entrepreneurial consultant, strategist and author. I offer support to entrepreneurs, experts and professionals looking to leverage their skills, expertise and experience to start and scale service-based businesses.

I’ve over 17 years experience supporting and helping entrepreneurs and business owners to start and grow their businesses as well as helping them access much needed funding and investment.

Outside Untapped FR and my consultancy, I am a venture capital scout, I help identify, advise and connect founders and startups with a forward-thinking venture capital firm looking to invest in female founders and startups who are generally under-represented and overlooked in the venture capital world. My overall goal is to help female founders and startups get funded, help close the gender investment gap and also help accelerate the capital raising success rate for women.

I’d love to hear from any female entrepreneurs, individuals, companies or organisations to see if I can support, collaborate or partner with you.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Rita.
