Frequently Asked Questions

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.

The full program fee is €200 (VAT not included). 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 may be hosted online. Also, our workshops are usually in the evening time.

Offline events will most likely be held in either Amsterdam or Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

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.

Both the Idea-Stage and MVP-Stage programs run for 10 weeks. Each program includes weekly workshops, mentorship, and in-person events for networking and pitch preparation.

While the Mentor Program focuses on long-term, one-on-one mentor-mentee relationships, mentorship in the Entrepreneur Program is integrated into the 10-week structure with a startup-focused approach.

After you register, you will receive an email confirming that we have received your application. This is a manual process, so please allow up to a week for the confirmation.

We carefully review each application to select up to 15 participants. You will receive an email with the results, letting you know whether you have been accepted into the program or not.

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 entrepreneurs and founders of AI startups. 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.

To apply, complete the registration for the Idea-Stage program on our website. Registration for the MVP-Stage program will open in April 2025.

We’ll review all applications and notify selected startups after the application deadline.

Deadline for applications for the Idea-Stage program: 6th of April.

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.

For the Idea-Stage program:

  • Kickoff: April
  • Demo Day: June

For the MVP-Stage program:

  • Kickoff: September
  • Investor Demo Day: November

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.

Why we need more female-led AI startups

Unfortunately, women are still very underrepresented in VC-backed startups and in the AI field. That is a shame, because private technology companies led by women are more capital-efficient, deliver higher revenue and are more likely to prioritize socially responsible initiatives and care about underserved communities. The goal of AI4All Women is to help eliminate the potential biases in AI by encouraging diverse teams in algorithm, product, and business development.
