Going digital
has a lot of advantages!
One of which is the introduction of our platform, powered by Mentorjam. On the platform, it’s easy for our community of mentors, investors and experts to get in touch with the Female Founders and vice versa. All communication, RSVP’s, Event overview… All take place here as well.
