Say hi to Sequoia Spark! This is a fellowship by Sequoia Southeast Asia & India focused on women in Southeast Asia and India.

Selected female founders will receive $100,000 (yes, in an equity-free grant) and join a 4-month program! Now, they've just announced their second batch (aka, Spark 02) of 12 startups.
