SHEQONOMI: AMPLIFYING THE VOICES OF WOMEN & GIRLS

The Mission of SHEQONOMI is amplify the voices of women and girls while creating a mechanism for financial and social inclusion for the bottom billion living on less than $2/day. We are using podcasts as a way to bridge the digital divide and solve several UN SDG's. The market opportunity is close to $1 Trillion USD given the success with other digital platforms like APPLE given that we do have fintech applications directly addressing 40% of the world's population in ways that it never has before.  We have created podcast listening apps on Android, iOS, KaiOS, and Jio now reaching over 150,000,000 users with our collaboration with Reliance JiO in India and KaiOS across Pakistan, Tanzania, UGANDA, Bangladesh, Mexico, and the United States. We are seeking funding for general growth expenses and upgrading our tech. Our team consists of both full-time staff helping with general operations, social media, independent contractors who are assisting with scaling our tech, and super skilled advisors who contribute more like a founding team given how much they "give" . We are grateful for everyone who has believed in us and all of our funding partners including The Islamic Development Bank, SDG Impact Accelerator, and Reliance JiO "Build For Bharat" Accelerator.
