We are proud to share that Rosey’s Mark, a member of the Agriventures community, has been selected among the finalists of She’s Next by Visa—a global initiative by Visa dedicated to empowering women-led businesses through education, mentorship, and grant funding.

She’s Next by Visa: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs

She’s Next by Visa supports female founders by providing:

  • Targeted business training

  • Access to experienced mentors

  • Opportunities for grant financing

The second season of the program in Bulgaria has just begun and will run until April. This year’s cohort includes 17 finalists representing 15 small businesses, all led by women with strong growth ambitions and purpose-driven models.

Rosey’s Mark: Reimagining the Bulgarian Rose as Food

Founded by Ina and Rosi, Rosey’s Mark is built around a clear mission:to promote the sustainable development and modern culinary use of the Bulgarian oil-bearing rose (Rosa Damascena) as a premium, functional food ingredient.

While traditionally known for its aromatic and cosmetic applications, the Bulgarian rose also has unique taste, nutritional, and functional properties. Rosey’s Mark transforms this national symbol into high-quality food products—such as rose jams, chocolates, teas, and rose water—preserving the pure floral flavor while delivering benefits for:

  • Digestion

  • Immune system support

  • Stress reduction

  • Beauty and overall well-being

By combining tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary food innovation, Rosey’s Mark positions the Bulgarian rose as a premium ingredient with international potential.

A Shared Vision for Sustainable Growth

Participation in She’s Next by Visa marks an important milestone in the growth journey of Rosey’s Mark. Over the coming months, the founders will work closely with mentors and fellow entrepreneurs to further scale their business, refine their strategy, and expand market reach—while staying true to their core values of sustainability, quality, and cultural heritage.

At Agriventures, we are especially proud to support women-led agrifood businesses that successfully bridge local identity, innovation, and global relevance. Rosey’s Mark is a strong example of how Bulgarian entrepreneurship can create value-added products rooted in tradition yet aligned with modern consumer demand.

We congratulate the team on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to following their continued growth and impact.
