Accelerator + Enabler

Connexus is an international advisory and industry network for businesses, investors and companies, with the mission to close the gender leadership gap in organisations and businesses.

We are helping build a connected, global and inclusive circular ecosystem where organisations thrive, leaders excel and women in business flourish.
Where good economics is equated with more women becoming job creators and contributors to the global economy.

Our innovative LeadHER® initiatives offer knowledge, mentorship, warm introductions, and targeted resources and have touched the lives of thousands of women entrepreneurs and leaders globally, transforming businesses, facilitating cross-border partnerships and driving tangible business growth across India and the UK, through:

Accelerator programs and bespoke consulting, fostering international business development and profitable partnerships.

A thriving global community connecting women leaders, founders, investors, mentors, enterprises and ecosystem partners.

Bespoke thought leadership initiatives and workshops for organizations, championing gender equity and inclusion in corporations.

Best suited for women-led ventures that have been at least 3 years in business in the home market and are now looking to scale up globally.

Impact on businesses has been in the form of:

– Facilitating market entry and expansion across borders
– Driving revenue growth through strategic partnerships and new customer acquisition
– Improving stakeholder relations and brand reputation via inclusive practices
