We bring a virtually untapped group of social entrepreneurs to market and give them global exposure.

Young women are one of the most powerful, untapped sources of innovative entrepreneurial ideas. Yet from VC firms to social incubators, their voices are often unheard and their ideas unfunded. 

Founded in 2011, girltank is a hybrid non-profit + for-profit dedicated to building a dynamic and robust network of high-impact young women social entrepreneurs and bringing their ventures to scale. We help young women learn about social change, support those who already are game-changers, and connect both groups to mentors, funders, and movement builders through a dynamic online marketplace of ideas generation, services exchange, and peer-to-peer mentorship.

girltank represents a unique and essential capacity-builder of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, by seeding a non-traditional global pipeline of young women social entrepreneurs (YSEs) who collectively can and will have a tremendous positive impact on the global economy.  

girltank is, we are, an unprecedented opportunity to change the way young women are recognized, mobilized, and inspired to become powerful leaders, innovators, and world shapers.
