Recognizing the critical role that support networks play in entrepreneurial success, IntegrateWomen launched a financial mentorship program for women entrepreneurs in Mexico City. This project paired early-stage women founders in banking and fintech with senior finance professionals for a structured six-month mentorship cycle. Participants received guidance in business planning, fundraising readiness, and personal leadership growth, tailored to the unique regulatory and market context of Mexico.
Over two program cohorts, more than 40 women entrepreneurs benefited from roundtable discussions, pitch-practice sessions, and feedback from guest experts drawn from Mexico’s leading investment firms and commercial banks. The initiative culminated in a Demo Day attended by local investors and microfinance institutions, resulting in participant companies accessing new debt and equity funding opportunities.
The project not only strengthened individual business prospects but seeded a sustainable mentorship model for future cohorts. Exit interviews and surveys reflected a measurable shift in confidence in fundraising and strategic decision-making. IntegrateWomen now plans to replicate the program in additional Latin American financial hubs.
