You’ve got the idea, the drive, and the AI knowledge to make it work. What you need is the room: the advisors, the workshops, and the founders beside you who get it. AI4ALL’s Entrepreneur Program is a two-track accelerator in Amsterdam built to take your AI startup from first sketch to fundable.
Our Entrepreneur Program is an Amsterdam-based accelerator that empowers female-founded AI startups across the Netherlands and Benelux to bring their ideas to life and scale with confidence. With two tailored tracks, this program is designed to meet the unique needs of startups at different stages.
It’s part of the wider AI4ALL community, alongside our Mentor Program and Masterclasses.
Keep pace with the fast scaling climate of AI. Curated expert workshops guide you along your journey giving advice from AI tech to business accumen.
Offline events facilitate peer connections and insights from fellow AI founders, while online sessions focus on educational content and crafting a robust business model.
Not just theory! Receive practical, hands-on guidance from seasoned experts in both technical and business domains.
Conclude the program by presenting your service or product to an audience of investors, industry leaders, and the press, propelling your venture to new heights.
THE FOUNDER JOURNEY
Most accelerators pick one stage and stop there. We built ours around the two moments that make or break an AI startup: turning an idea into something real, and turning something real into something fundable.
For founders with an AI-powered idea and no functional product yet. Validate the problem, build your MVP, walk into Demo Day with a pitch that lands.

WHY WE EXIST
Women are still underrepresented in VC-backed startups and in AI. Private tech companies led by women are more capital-efficient, deliver higher revenue, and are more likely to prioritize socially responsible work. AI4ALL Women exists to close that gap.
Entrepreneur is a specialized initiative designed to help women entrepreneurs and founders of AI-driven startups at both the idea and MVP stages develop and scale their products. It provides structured workshops, mentorship, and networking opportunities to prepare startups for funding and growth.
For the spring Ideation program it is €300 (ex VAT) for 1 participant. For the fall MVP program it is €500 (ex VAT). It is an additional €100 for each cofounder wishing to participate in either program.
VAT is added for individual participants, and companies can request an invoice for VAT deduction. The tickets are non-refundable.
The program offers a hybrid format. Key workshops, pitch sessions, and Demo Days are conducted in person to maximize interaction and feedback, while other sessions will be hosted online. Our workshops are hosted on weekday evenings after working hours.
In-person workshops are held in Amsterdam at Curiosity VC. The Kick Off and Demo Day also take place in Amsterdam (venues to be confirmed).
No, there will be no recordings. Studies show that 46% of students are more likely to miss class if a recorded lecture is available. Additionally, experience from other educational programs suggests participants engage more actively without the option to watch sessions later. To ensure full participation and help you get the most out of each workshop, we do not provide recordings.
The fall MVP to Market cohort runs from 26 November 2026 to 4 March 2027, with a break for Christmas and for the AI4ALL Gala. It includes a Kick Off, 10 workshops and Demo Day, blending in-person sessions in Amsterdam with online sessions.
The Entrepreneur program matches our founders with several startup advisors who are specialists in AI, business, investment and startups. Their guidance is focused on building your business. While the Mentor Program focuses on 1-on-1 mentor relationships that focus on your personal development.
We like to ensure our program is tailored and curated we accept between 6 and 15 startups each phase.
Startups are selected based on the following:
The Idea-Stage program focuses on teams with an AI concept but no functional product, helping them create an MVP and initial pitch deck. The MVP-Stage program is for startups with a working MVP, concentrating on refining product-market fit, scaling strategies, and investor outreach.
The program is open to women founders and entrepreneurs; and startups with at least 1 female founder who will actively participate in the program. The Idea-Stage program welcomes teams with a well-defined AI-powered idea, while the MVP-Stage program is suited for startups with a functional MVP and early traction.
Sign up by clicking the ‘Sign up for the fall cohort’ button. We only open applications 2 months before a program starts. We’ll review all applications and notify selected startups after the application deadline.
We welcome startups from the Benelux countries to apply.
The program price covers all online events, so you can invite your co-founder to join these at no extra cost. However, if your co-founder wishes to attend offline events, please purchase an additional ticket. This helps cover costs such as drinks and snacks during offline meetings and ensures commitment to the program.
Yes, attendance is mandatory for Demo Day, and startups are expected to attend at least 90% of the workshops to receive certification.
MVP to Market (fall cohort): Kick Off on 26 November 2026, Demo Day on 4 March 2027.
Idea to MVP: the Spring 2026 cohort finished in June. New dates will be announced.
Demo Day serves as a launchpad for your startup to present to investors, industry leaders, and potential partners. After Demo Day, you’ll have strategies in place for follow-ups and continuing growth.
Startups will give a 3 minute pitch to a jury of investors and a public audience. A first and second place winner is selected from program participants and offered a prize. Past prizes have included free tickets and speaking opportunities at major conferences like World Summit AI or Big Data & AI
