Aurora is an Award, an Investor, and a Platform, bringing capital, connections, and visibility to the boldest women founders building in emerging markets:

✷ As an Award, we build tables for the boldest women founders running outstanding tech businesses in emerging markets. Five years of sourcing have made us one of the world’s largest pipelines of early-stage women founders outside traditional venture networks.

✷ As Ventures, we invest at pre-seed and seed across MENA, Africa, and Latin America, with ticket sizes up to US$250K, backing the businesses that are overperforming relative to the capital they’ve received.

✷ As a Platform, we give founders visibility they can’t get elsewhere: features across our social channels, warm introductions, and resources built around how women build and what they build for.

✷ We do the work of finding the boldest women founders across emerging markets, so you don’t have to.

Follow along for founder stories and fundraising insights, and apply if you’re a woman founder building in emerging markets.
