I’m holding the microphone using my voice to ignite change, amplify women, and create opportunities that once felt out of reach.

This image captures more than a moment. It’s a symbol of everything Wominae stands for: using our voices to rewrite the narrative for women in business.

My journey began with a dream to launch a skincare company. What followed was a harsh reality: the uphill battle of securing investment as a female founder. Rather than give up, I shifted my focus and I realized it wasn’t just me, it was systemic. The numbers don’t lie: most funding still flows to male-led ventures. It’s not that women lack ideas or ambition, the system simply wasn’t built with us in mind, leaving female entrepreneurs with fewer opportunities to grow their businesses.

So I made a choice.
Not to shrink.
Not to wait.
But to build something bigger than myself.

Wominae was born from that fire, a platform designed to empower women entrepreneurs to access capital, build networks, and create generational wealth. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, whose work has made it possible for us to continue advancing equality and opportunity for women everywhere.

We’re not just closing gaps in funding, networks, opportunity, and wealth we’re opening doors that were never meant to be shut. We are reimagining financial inclusion, investing in women who have been historically excluded, and building an ecosystem where diverse, women-led ventures thrive.

This mission is deeply personal. It’s rooted in resilience, community, and the belief that when women rise, we all rise. At Wominae, we don’t ask for permission to sit at the table we build our own. And at that table, we bank the unbanked, fund the unfunded, and invest in female entrepreneurs who have been underinvested, undervalued, and underestimated.

Our team is made up of passionate professionals who share this vision. Together, we bring expertise in investment, entrepreneurship, strategy, and community-building all in service of one goal: to empower women-led businesses to scale, thrive, and leave a lasting legacy.

My name is Brendaly Albertus, and I started this journey to turn barriers into bridges, lift as we climb, and create a world where women don’t just participate they lead, innovate, and transform the future.
