Ready to build, launch and grow your business with expert support?
Launching or growing an early-stage tech company can be tough. But you don’t have to do it alone.
Our international mentoring programme will connect you with experienced professionals, investors and industry experts who’ve scaled businesses just like yours. You’ll get hands-on advice and fresh perspectives, and the chance to join a network that opens doors – so you can move faster and grow stronger.
You’ll get dedicated support from two experienced mentors for six months. You’ll also attend startupschool, where Danish and international experts will help you build the skills, confidence and connections you need to launch or grow your tech startup. 80 to 85% of the startup school sessions will be online, while 15 to 20% are in-person workshops.
You’ll be part of a dynamic group of other female and non-binary founders, learning together and sharing experiences. Plus, you’ll be able to tap into northern Europe’s largest female founder community, with access to coaches, networks and events across Finland, the Nordics and beyond.
Everything you need to move faster, think bigger and build a business that lasts.
Expect to spend around 15% of your working time on the programme – that’s roughly one day a week if you’re full-time.
Remember that this isn’t extra work though. It’s time you’re already investing in your business, just used in a way that delivers far more value.
We welcome applications from:
pre-startup founders – women with great ideas to solve real problems using digital/tech
early-stage startups – founders who’ve launched their companies but need help to grow
revenue-generating businesses – startups that are already making money but could do with some support from Finnish and international mentors to accelerate their growth.
You’ll need to have:
a strong drive to succeed – you’ll be passionate, motivated and ready to take your business to the next level
an openness to learn and grow – you’ll be supported by expert mentors and a network of like-minded founders who can help you move faster
the ability to commit six months to the programme
a clear focus – you’ll be dedicated to solving a defined business problem with technology
a driven, coachable and collaborative mindset – you’ll be open to feedback, adaptable and ready to make the most of this opportunity.
You’ll only need to pay a deposit of €300, which we’ll refund when you finish.
Note that we can only give you your deposit back if you complete the full programme.
We couldn’t run this programme without our mentors. As well as helping high-potential female and non-binary founders unlock their full potential, they’re also contributing to the growth of the next generation of female tech leaders.
We’re looking for mentors who have proven experience as entrepreneurs, leaders, experts or investors, and who are passionate about supporting the next wave of female innovators. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
How it works
We’ll match you with a dynamic mentee based on their goals, and whether they need support with business strategy, technical skills, sales, marketing or personal branding. You’ll give them guidance and expertise tailored to their specific needs.
