We empower every woman entrepreneur to succeed on her own terms

In the mountain villages of ancient Hunan, a secret language was created and used exclusively by women. Nüshu became a code of defiance against oppression and patriarchy and provided a way for women to bond and support each other amongst hardship.

Nüshu Network is inspired by this legacy of sisterhood.

We bring together an unparalleled community of peers, coaching to help build skills and access to diverse pools of capital to help women entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

We want to see every woman entrepreneur in Asia succeed on her own terms.
