WowMii

WowMii is a premier accelerator for high-performing minority and women led companies. We help to launch these quality startups by providing high quality education, mentorship, training and support. We work with top startups in all areas of technology; To include but not limited to fintech, edtech, healthtech, fashiontech media/entertainment-tech, and foodtech. Even with a minority and women focus, it is not likely WowMii would turn away a non-minority startup that exhibits a solid idea and the team to execute on that idea. Startups will be required to come to New York City for our scheduled events. WowMii selects startups on a rolling basis. We understands that no company is the same, so we negotiate investment / equity terms prior to acceptance into the program.
