What the GLI Map is
A public directory of investors, accelerators, startups, and policy bodies shaping the market for women-led businesses in the Philippines.
What we mean by gender lens investing
Gender lens investing means making deliberate decisions about how capital affects women through who leads a business, who works there, or who the product serves.
We use 2X Criteria as a reference point when assessing whether an organization demonstrates an intentional gender lens.

Women-led companies, women-focused product businesses, and social enterprises operating in the Philippines.

Who is behind it
The directory is built and maintained by Kerubin Capital and supported by Investing in Women, an initiative of the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade focused on gender-lens investment in Southeast Asia. Kerubin Capital also works closely with the Manila Angel Investors Network (MAIN) to connect women-led startups with angel investors and co-investment partners.
How we maintain it
Submissions are open year-round. Each listing is reviewed against public sources before it is approved.
Listings are reviewed on a quarterly cycle. Inactive organizations can be flagged or removed, and out-of-date information is corrected where possible.
The directory is free to use and free to be listed in.
