The Next Billion Invest in women. Raise impact.

What if we told you that the next billion dollar market opportunity isn’t China or India but …Women.

Would you invest?

Our Mission We are on a mission to unleash and invest in women’s economic potential through entrepreneurship as a catalyst for positive

impact to local national and global economies. We aim to provide the growing number of female-led enterprises worldwide

with a quadruple AAAA service:o Access to Financeo Access to (business/development) Skillso Access to a network of Inspirational Role Modelso Access to Markets

Our VisionOur vision is to become ‘ The Global Funding Home’ for female-led enterprises. A one-stop-shop for all

theirfunding needs and much much more.

With long-term goal of entering the emerging markets of Africa, Latin & South America and East Asiawhere women face greater financial exclusion. However, where the potential for women’s economicemancipation and the need for financial autonomy is at it’s greatest.

And we’re starting with Europe

We’re re-imagining crowdfunding

From Beta to 2.0

We're proposing a new way, a better way, a truly democratic and disruptive model of crowdfunding. One which leverages the growing power of the crowd-economy by merging the concepts of crowdsourcing, crowdspeaking with crowdfunding.

 

Redefining ourselves as the world’s first Impact Crowdfunding Platform inspired by the principles of Impact Invest ing and Venture Philanthropy. Where the onus is on Value Creation, Capacity Building, Women’s economic empowerment and f inancial inclusion . Where female entrepreneurs and female-led enterprises are the primary focus for investment .

We’re building an impact-driven crowdfunding platform.

We’re dedicated to helping female-led enterprises raise the necessary capital needed to start, scale, grow and lead economically sustainable and successful businesses.

“We aim to provide female entrepreneurs with a platform – a place where they not only feel but know that

they are valued, supported, connected, validated, seen and heard. A place where they can raise funds,

raise their profile, raise their potential and their capacity as entrepreneurs. And ultimately raise the

standard of living for millions of people. A place where they can grow. A place they can call home.”

We’re scaling up. Extending an open invitation to all female-led enterprises not only those started and run my mothers.

EligibilityOpen to businesses majority owned and led by a female founder or female founding team

• For profit as well as hybrid for purpose and profit enterprises • Startups (Incl. pre-revenue and early stage) • Small and Medium Size Businesses • Fast Growth SME’s• Looking to raise a minimum of $5000 dollars

1.We’re pioneering a novel approach to rewards-based crowdfunding based on a Fund Management model.

Providing ‘Funders’ with the opportunity to:

• Register as an individual, an organization or company• Open a Fund and make a secure deposit• Define their investment areas of interest. • And ‘invest’ in a diversified portfolio of women-led ventures listed on our platform.

How is MMB unique?

2. We’re rethinking the rules of engagement.

Invest your social media net-worth

Invest your money

 

Invest your time,

skills & acknowledge

 

Invest in yourself & your business/idea

 

Through our fund management approach we can offer entrepreneurs the assurance of having both funds and

a registered community of ‘engaged’ contributors championing women’s economic empowerment – readilyavailable on the platform. 

How is MMB unique?

3.We’re creating a new order. Building the world’s first and hopefully largest ‘crowdfunded’Impact Crowfunding Fund.

6. We’re equalizing the power balance in crowdfunding.

• By making a funding opportunities accessible and available to all female entrepreneurs under one platform.

• We’re leveling the playing field between funders and entrepreneurs by providing women owned businesses with the power and opportunity a ‘ search, find and invite’ functions to select and invite ‘funders’ who meet and match their funding criteria to join their funding rounds if they choose to do so.

4. We’re extending the crowd’s participation. Allowing organizations, public sector institutions, corporate companies, foundations, venture philanthropists, funds, impact investors, as well as traditional institutional lenders alongside a ‘crowd’ of ordinary people to share in the risks and rewards of investing in the winning effects of women-led enterprises by opening a ‘Fund’ on MMB for as little as $1.

6. We’re adopting a hybrid approach to both finance and investment opportunities.

• Hybrid funding campaigns• Multiple funding rounds allowed: From Seed/Startup/Growth/Exit

• Recent studies by Indigogo, Kickstarter and Babson show that women are achieving a higher success rate (40%) in finding financing via Crowdfunding than through traditional venture capital.

• Women make up the majority of fundraisers in both donations based and rewards based crowdfunding.  (Nesta/Cambridge)

• Role in  the predominantly male P2P and equity crowdfunding sector is still negligent.

• Equity Crowdfunding: Growth opportunity sector for women led-businesses.

Crowdfunding: Leveling the playing field for female entrepreneurs globally.

If woman aren’t dreaming big, asking and receiving funding, half the population isn’t contributing all it

can to economic growth and job creation.

Gerry Stengel, Forbes

Why women? Why now? Why it matters?

To achieve our purpose we wholeheartedly believe that we must invite more women to participate, we must enable women to realize theireconomic and entrepreneurial potential in order to achieve financial autonomy. We must provide them with access to the necessary tools, peopleand opportunit ies needed to build thriving businesses that impact people, planet and our economies.

And last but not least, we need to engage everyone to f ind, reflect and share the winning facts and winning effects surrounding why investing inwomen owned businesses not only makes for smart economics and businesses sense but why it’s a win-win for all.

Our Purpose: Value Creation

Our purpose is a ‘shared’ purpose. One that centers around creating value for all in order to build and invest in what we hope will be a brighter, better, fairer, more equitable and sustainable future for us all. Powered by our most under-valued, under-funded, under-utilized and under-realized human resource to date: Women.
