FEM-START Next Level is an advanced program for female founders who are further along in their growth and want to strategically prepare to raise capital.
In this program, you work toward becoming investment-ready by sharpening your positioning, developing a solid financing strategy, and building the focus and confidence needed to conduct persuasive conversations with investors.
Together with other ambitious founders, you gain deeper insight into how financiers make decisions, which types of funding suit your stage, and how to position your company convincingly for a successful application. At the same time, you build active connections within the broader funding landscape – from banks and funds to investors – and test your story in realistic settings.
After completing the program, you will be concretely prepared: you will have a clear positioning narrative, a defined funding strategy, and a strong understanding of the next steps required to raise capital.
Participation Requirements:
- Active registration with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK)
- A company with clear growth ambitions
- A deliberate decision to raise capital (in the foreseeable future)
- A clear business case and initial validation
- Willingness to actively work on investment readiness
✔ Participation is free
✔ Applications close on April 6
