FourthWave is an accelerator program for female tech entrepreneurs, established in partnership with the Los Angeles Mayor's Office and Tech Council. While the obvious agenda is to help women-led businesses attain higher success rates, there are additional important goals:
To increase diversity in the tech workforce sector.
To bring together the multiple networks of female tech entrepreneurs & the investor community.
To generate widespread awareness that women-led businesses are smart investment opportunities.
To increase investment in women-led businesses.
To set the stage for other local and national cities to adopt the model.
