About Us

‘‘A single bracelet does not jingle.’’

African proverb, meaning: It takes more than one person or it takes many to affect change.

Our Story

Dali Spaces founder, Martha Mghendi-Fisher, was born and raised in a small communal village in Taita, Kenya. At the very core of everyday life, the community was built on shared experiences—their wins, losses, and challenges, supporting each other holistically so each individual could grow. Wanting to share these values with women globally, Martha reached out to her friends, leaders, and fellow founders, Andrea Dunlop and Nadja Van der Veer as they shared a strong connection, mutual respect and deep commitment to creating opportunities for women.

Together, their first-hand experience of overcoming challenges in business allowed them to create Dali Spaces, a community that enables women business owners to succeed. Named after Martha’s mother, Dali Spaces was christened in honor of the powerful, influential, and resilient women who inspired Martha, and will reflect and stand for those who come after.

As a result, Dali Spaces was founded on the core belief that connection, community, and the power of the collective enable us to thrive

Our Vision

Women are twice as likely to cite absence of a strong support system as an obstacle to owning a business, and the lack of access to assets affects women entrepreneurs’ abilities to obtain loans and raise capital. Our vision is a world in which women business owners have equal opportunities to thrive and succeed.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to create a global platform that nurtures and empowers women founders by providing resources, support, and a community conducive to success. By doing so, we strive to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations.
