Andie Launches Wave Maker Incubator to Empower the Next Generation of Female Founders

NEW YORK, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Andie, the leading direct-to-consumer swimwear brand, proudly announces the launch of the Andie Wave Maker Incubator, a semi-annual initiative designed to support and uplift aspiring female entrepreneurs. Kicking off on Saturday, March 8, 2025, in celebration of International Women's Day, this program provides early-stage, women-led businesses with the essential funding, mentorship, and strategic resources needed for success.

As part of its commitment to fostering the next generation of female founders, the Andie Wave Maker Incubator will select one outstanding entrepreneur per cycle to receive a $5,000 cash grant to invest in their business. In addition, the selected founder will gain access to personalized mentorship, including one-on-one sessions with key Andie team members, as well as ongoing strategic guidance from Andie's leadership on scaling and growing their brand. To further support the business's legal foundation, the program includes $10,000 in free legal services from Fenwick & West, assisting with incorporation and other startup needs. Participants will also receive guidance from a top-tier pitch deck consultant, helping refine investor materials and enhance fundraising strategies.

The Andie Wave Maker Incubator was created with a clear mission: to empower the next generation of female founders by providing tangible resources and expert guidance, to share Andie's expertise in building a successful consumer-facing business, and to cultivate a supportive network that ensures long-term success beyond the program.

Eligibility for the Andie Wave Maker Incubator requires that applicants have a consumer-facing business (focused on physical goods, not tech/SaaS), be in the pre-launch, development, or early stage, and identify as female. Additionally, applicants must be 18 years or older and based in the United States.

The inaugural application window opens on March 8, 2025, aligning with International Women's Day, and will remain open for one month.

By applying, founders not only gain financial support but also benefit from high-value mentorship, legal guidance, and expert pitch deck consulting—equipping them with the tools necessary to build, launch, and scale their businesses. Andie's commitment to women-led brands extends beyond this program, ensuring participants gain long-term benefits and connections within a strong entrepreneurial network.
