Are You a Woman In Tech? FirstCheck Africa wants to invest $25,000 in your startup
According to Adeva IT, as of 2018, women held only 25% of all the jobs in the tech industry, despite women making up almost half of the total workforce.
It is a known fact that women are under-represented in the African tech ecosystem.
More women need to find their way into tech in Africa and that is what FirstCheck Africa has come to fix.
They are doing this by building a female-led community that works.
