Future Females Business School opens new round of applications
Future Females, an international community of female entrepreneurs, has opened applications for this year’s second edition of the Future Females Business School.
The business school is a three-month virtual incubator that aims to provide a unique opportunity for women entrepreneurs from around the world to transform their ideas into proven, scalable, and sustainable businesses.
The programme is priced at $749 for participants (or three monthly instalments of $269 each).
The next programme — which kicks off on 18 September — will see Future Females partnering with Techstars, the global network for entrepreneurs.
Future Females co-founder Lauren Dallas (pictured above) said in a statement today that the partnership with Techstars will allow its members to be exposed to content and coaches from the global Techstars network.
Future Females will also be a part of the D&I Techstars Affiliate programme — an opportunity for Future Females to refer graduating entrepreneurs to one of the Techstars mentorship-driven accelerator programme and have their application fast-tracked.
