The Evolution of 100K Incubator
The Strategies Behind $10M+ in Capital Access—Now Powered by AI
From the world’s first funding app for women to AI-powered capital strategy, we’ve always believed in making funding more accessible.
100K Incubator launched in 2018, becoming the first-ever mobile app designed to help women secure business funding. Since then, founders using our strategies have accessed over $10 million in grants, loans, and investment. We’ve been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, BET, Essence, and Create & Cultivate—and our work has been implemented in corporate accelerators, universities, and city-led business initiatives. Today, we’ve turned our proven approach into a powerful AI platform—helping founders explore capital options faster, with on-demand strategy support.
