Visa's $10K grant for women entrepreneurs
Visa She's Next is Visa's grant program for women-owned small businesses. In the US it last ran as the 2023 She's Next in Fashion cohort (50 businesses, over $500K in cash grants); Visa's US page now offers only a sign-up for updates, and recent rounds have run market by market outside the US.
Visa She's Next is a grant program for women-owned small businesses run by Visa Inc., the payments network company, which has run its grant contests in partnership with IFundWomen; it has nothing to do with immigration or travel visas.
