Community
Womvest Community is centred around creating opportunities for women to participate in the investment and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
​
Womvest facilitates this by means of its Mentorship Programme, Activator Programme and Ambassador Programme. Community is driven by the value creation from investment and skills sharing between women.
​
Womvest hosts networking events as part of its community initiative, and will be looking at creating a membership programme in future.
Mentorship Matching Program
The Womvest Mentorship Matching Program offers young, driven women within the finance sector broadly the opportunity to be matched with a mentor that best aligns with their short- to medium-term goals for a focused period of 3 months.

Mentorship is a frequently referred to opportunity but is often misunderstood or seemingly unaccessible to both aspiring mentors and mentees.
A key theme that emerges is the matching of high-quality mentees with value-adding mentors.
Womvest has launched the mentorship matching program in order to connect enthusiastic and dedicated mentees with value-adding mentors and remove the complexities of mentorship by guiding the mentorship process.
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey

A Guided 3-month Mentorship Opportunity
Womvest will act as a facilitator during the 3-month program – offering support to mentees in the form of weekly check-ins to gage progress towards goals, interview prep, resume review, and tips on how to optimise the mentorship opportunity.
​
We believe that a 3-month period of intentional and structured engagement between mentee and mentor is enough time to address clearly defined objectives.
Womvest’s involvement aims to enhance the mentee-mentor experience and resultant value creation.
Applications for the next cohort of mentees are closed. Follow us on LinkedIn and Instragram for updates on the next intake.
