Hannah Chou

Hannah is a passionate advocate for women's empowerment, gender equality, and women in tech. Her latest startup, WEpreneurs, empowers her to connect women, promote gender equality, and solve problems using technology, aligning perfectly with her passion.

In 2015, Hannah Chou and Momo Huang were recognized as Cartier Women's Initiative fellows. They co-founded a social enterprise that revolutionized the dining experience for millions by making disability-friendly restaurant information accessible. At the same time, they created innovative job opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

Since then, Hannah has continued her journey by mentoring women founders and social entrepreneurs. Her dedication to empowering women has led to the implementation of two impactful programs in Taiwan: the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs from the U.S. Department of State and the SheMeansBusiness Program by Meta (Facebook). Through these initiatives, Hannah crossed paths with numerous female founders, all of whom shared a fierce determination to seek out business opportunities. Inspired by their ambition, she founded WEpreneurs.

WEpreneurs is more than just a platform; it's a digital tool designed to help users swiftly identify collaboration and business opportunities while fostering connections with others who can provide valuable resources. This eliminates the hassle of sifting through irrelevant networking and enables users to make high-quality connections efficiently. Utilizing cutting-edge AI technology next, WEpreneurs will automatically match users with their business needs, streamlining the process of identifying potential leads.

Hannah firmly believes that when women are economically empowered, it not only enhances the quality of life for their families and future generations but also creates job opportunities and generates significant social impact. WEpreneurs aims to support women founder and professionals in achieving their success by saving them time in finding the right business resources.
