Elevating female founders to success

With TheNextWomen Female Founder Force Program women invest in women. Our program is designed for early-stage startups for gain exposure, valuable feedback and meaningful connections. About 200 women-led start-ups apply, pitch, and train to become this year's number 1. The last finalists Printr, Vastari, Plugify, Endeer and MT Art raised between € 500K and € 1M funding within 9 months of winning the competition.

With this 7th edition of our sourcing program, we are supporting female entrepreneurship worldwide, in collaboration with a variety of Embassies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, EY, Hearst Netherlands, KLM and StartupAmsterdam. # FemaleFoundersForce2019 calls for all ambitious women-led startups ready to grow their business to the next level.
