Why SheLaunches?
Unfortunately, the start-up ecosystem is still too much dominated by male start-up teams and investors. SheLaunches is an online accelerator in which female PhD students work on a business case in a closed community. In 2021, She Launches won the Startup in Residence challenge ‘more female tech startups’.
The program
The program consist of e-learning modules, accompanying material (presentations, reports, articles) and specific tools. Participants can get started with tools to develop a business model, such as the lean canvas, the value proposition and the pitch. Specific content is available for the dilemmas that aspiring female tech entrepreneurs may experience due to their situation as tech PhD students. Everything in a community of PhD students, coaches, investors and other stakeholders.
