Welcome

Our mission is to demystify the world of funding for female entrepreneurs. With Marian Spier.

Every great business starts with a great idea

But of course you need more than just that. Any business to speak of needs a solid business model, an excellent team and of course money. 

In some cases: a lot of money.

Sounds familiar?

It might feel like everyone's looking for money. But don’t worry, in this course we’ll unveil some of the startup industry’s tightly held secrets.

Armed with this information, you’ll find out that starting a business can be surprisingly easy. You just have to know some shortcuts and we will help you to discover these.

FEM-START wants to help you get funded.

In order to help you get started, we’ve asked inspiring experts to share their knowledge, experience and tips. Play the video to find out who they are!

So, let's start!

First of all: running a startup is not the same as being an entrepreneur. Sure, it's fine if you work as a freelancer and charge your clients by the hour. But a startup is all about growth! 

If you want to grow, you need to think bigger, find investors and scale your business.

Let's listen to the expert.

Were you being a bit too modest when indicating the amount of funding you need? Diane Janknegt successfully raised money for her company Wizenose. Let's listen to what she has to say about funding and the benefits of thinking big.

'Ehm, but I don't know how to talk to investors.'

Relax. We’ve got your back! We also asked investors for advice. Go to the next screen to find out who it is and what advice she has to share with you.

Is there enough money in the market?

When Diane Janknegt invites you to think big... the same question can be asked to Heleen Dura van Oord. Is there enough money for my ideas?

Are you ready?

Now that you know to think big, we should think about how to raise funds to realize your dreams.

We’ll explain all about this in our courses. In the next modules, you’ll find more information about these courses.
