We empower women to start and grow their businesses, and inspire women in low-income communities to do the same.
Project Description
Hi, my name is Huda and I'm the founder of Fempreneur Secrets. I've been running e-commerce and service-based businesses since 2008. I'm a certified trainer based in Singapore, and was nominated the Most Compassionate Womenpreneur Award in 2019.
We're raising money on iFundWomen to build our core team and to fully develop our signature membership programme, Fempreneur Circle.
Fempreneur Secrets is a global online community that empowers women to start & grow their business. For every 5 women entrepreneurs who sign up for a paid program, one other woman in low-income families around the world are empowered to do the same.
Our mission is to empower women to become economically independent, globally.
We need to first understand what it means to be a Fempreneur. We've coined this definition to our best understanding of what it takes to be a female entrepreneur.
We strive to:
-
empower women with the skills to start and grow their business
-
empower women in low-income households to gain economic independence through business
-
give women the skills to command a better life for themselves and their families.
WHY:
Rising Number of Fempreneur
There's a rise of female entrepreneurs around the world. We're looking at a total of 274 million female-led businesses in 74 economies around the world, but only 111 million are considered successful or established.
For every 10 male entrepreneurs, there are 7 fempreneurs. Even with such large numbers, women are spending almost 2-years less than men on adult-learning.

This means that there is a gap in knowledge to spur them forward confidently into the world of business. There's still so much to learn before women leave their stable income for a business they are passionate about.
The thing is:
- Lots of entrepreneurship resources and programme out there are full of glorified successes, but someone who's starting out just won't get it
- Hiring someone to strategize your business from the beginning can be costly when you're starting out
- There aren't many resources available from the perspective of minority groups and Asian Fempreneurs.
That's where Fempreneur Secrets come in to solve these through:
- a supportive community of like-minded female entrepreneurs
- real and no-fluff stories of success from female entrepreneurs around the world
- step-by-step and easy-to-implement courses and resources for you to start and grow your business regardless of time and location
