These pieces are previews. Founder stories, films and features are coming with Cohort One.
Video Pitches. Coming with Cohort One
Ninety seconds is enough
The pitch video is not a commercial. It is a test of whether you know your own numbers. Here is how to spend every second of it.
Transformation Stories. Coming with Cohort One
The loan she never got

Partner Stories. Coming with Cohort One

The commercial argument for backing women-led MSMEs, made without a single mention of corporate social responsibility.
