Selfmade is a new 10-week virtual startup school for women created by Brit + Co and sponsored by Office Depot that helps equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills they need to start or grow their business. The course, hosted by Brit + Co co-founders Brit Morin and Anjelika Temple, will be free for up to 200 women, with a focus on women of color, women from underserved and underrepresented communities and women in need of support.
With Selfmade, women will get access to hours of live instruction, one-on-one and group coaching, plus customizable pitch decks, templates and other resources to help their businesses thrive.
To further support women, a portion of the proceeds from the course will go towards supporting digitalundivided.
