FORBES – Nov 24 - Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, social entrepreneur Ana Fontes (a part of the W20) has been working to equip the hundreds of thousands of women who resort to the Women Entrepreneurs Social Network (RME, acronym in Portuguese) to understand how to navigate a fast-moving digital landscape. With multiple initiatives led under what is the first and largest support network for female entrepreneurs and the support from companies including Google and banks such as Santander, RME currently reaches 750k women nationwide. The scope of the organization is now going beyond guidance on how to start and run a business and expanding into a model that includes digital literacy, content, acceleration, mentoring, and capital for female entrepreneurs. RME has raised more than $7.3M to bolster key projects such as a training model that will train ~50k women for the digital economy in the next 24 months.
