Post by SpinLab - The HHL Accelerator

For several years now, we have been following the CEE region closely. It is a dynamic ecosystem with many promising startups, but the funding gap for #femalefounders remains a real challenge. As we see in other formats, such as our summer schools for diverse startups, targeted initiatives can create access, knowledge, and networks that make a difference. The Female Fundraising Academy is one of these initiatives in #CEE. As an ecosystem partner, we are glad to support the program, which gives female founders practical tools to prepare for fundraising and scaling. In this edition, Huge Thing is joining forces with Douglas, giving participants access to industry knowledge and insights from an established retail player. What will startups gain from this program? 🔷 4 practical modules: a structured path from strategy to pitching. 🔷 Individual support: 1:1 sessions with experts and market practitioners. 🔷 Business insights: a look into product launches within a large retail network. 🔷 Networking: access to female leaders, experts, and investors. If you’re building a startup at TRL 3–6 and are preparing for scaling or a funding round, check out this program. Applications are open until June 18th. (Link to apply in the comments.)
