WEC’s network brings access to new sources of funding for entrepreneurs, with guaranteed funding for between 5 and 10 start-ups in every competition. Additionally, through our on-line training and mentorship, WEC empowers entrepreneurs to be prepared to seek investment and grants, by increasing visibility of capital sources and through helping them through the necessary processes to do so.

Even if entrepreneurs do not win the initial challenge, the networking components of the program also allow entrepreneurs to meet future investors who are interested in their product and innovation.
