Women2Invest: We help women with STEAM studies start their careers in venture investment by training them in the fundamentals of this profession and matching them with investors (venture capital, corporate venture capital or corporate venturing units) for internship opportunities.
Mentoring for women leaders: Offers EIT community women access to a broad network, mentoring, coaching and training opportunities to take their managerial and leadership skills to the next level
Women Investor Network: we provide women working in VC (junior or senior positions), and female business angels (active or to-be) with training, networking opportunities and access to dealflow, particularly in tech female-led startups.We do this by applying a transversal approach that focuses on:
Awareness-raising and model creation
Capacity building and empowering women to enter and shine in the ecosystem
Connecting women present ain the enrepreneurship ecosystem and those wishing to join it.
Articulating a support system for female investors and entrepreneurs.
It also articulates a support system for women to enter and scale positions in the ecosystem, while at the same time, opening up the scope of roles that need to be more populated with women. All in all, we want to help participants in this programme to gather financial support, provide them with information and education recommendations and create networking opportunities.
