Meet some of the inspiring startups
Launched from our previous cohorts, which show the variety and creativity of what can be achieved.
'I have no idea
where to start'
We've heard this from over 300 women.
So we built something for exactly that moment.
Even Founders is where you go when you're curious about entrepreneurship but everything feels overwhelming. When you know you want to build something but don't know how.
Here's what actually happens: You join a cohort of women in the exact same boat. You get a step-by-step process that turns "maybe I could do this?" into "here's my first experiment." You stop feeling alone.
And every single founder who's been through our program would recommend it to another woman.
Applications for Spring Cohort are now open! Join 300+ women who have already taken the program.

I loved the weekly meetups with experts, the co-working days and video content was so professional and incredibly valuable.

What is it?
The Startup School is a 12-week curated program that gives you the step-by-step knowledge, skills, and frameworks to build a company.
You will combine online modules, meet-ups, expert sessions, and mentoring, so you can move forward with confidence and strong community support.
Who is it for?
If you’re a woman based in the Nordics, you’re welcome to join:
• Don’t need any previous experience
• Are in the early stages of exploring an idea
• Can commit 2 hours per week for 12 weeks
• Are passionate about a problem or idea
Who made it?
Built by operators, investors, and founders who’ve walked the same path, The Startup School is designed to meet you where you are.
Along the way, you will get access to advisors and mentors tailored to your needs.
Program details
The one-week intensive helps you identify problems worth solving and people worth solving them with. Whether you're starting from scratch or have a vague sense of direction, you'll learn to recognize which problems have real potential and which are just interesting observations.
Through two live sessions, structured exercises, and constant peer collaboration, you'll explore different problem spaces, validate your assumptions, and connect with potential co-founders who complement your skills and interests. By the end of the week, you'll have clarity on what you want to build and confidence that it's worth building.
Those ready to move forward continue into Startup School to validate and develop their concepts.

Twelve weeks to transform your concept into a validated business. This isn't about building a product—it's about building the right product for the right people at the right time.
Through structured online modules, live sessions (both virtual and in-person), and constant peer collaboration, you'll validate your assumptions, test your solutions, and develop a business model that actually works. Each week builds on the last, taking you from hypothesis to evidence-based decision making.
You'll also connect with industry experts, successful founders, and ecosystem supporters who provide real-world insights and help you navigate the Nordic startup landscape.

Community isn't just part of what we do—it's how everything works. From day one, you'll experience the difference of building alongside women who understand the unique challenges you face and genuinely want to see you succeed.
Whether you need strategic advice on a pivot, introductions to potential customers, honest feedback on your pitch, or someone who gets why fundraising as a woman feels different—the community provides both the practical support and emotional resilience that building a company demands.

The Startup School is best designed for:
Fresh idea
It doesn’t matter if your idea is for a digital or physical product, it just needs to be a fresh idea that brings a new concept to the market.
For this reason, businesses focused on coaching, freelancing or opening up a small shop are not the right fit.
But don't worry if you don't have an idea, you can join our bootcamp and we'll help you find one.

Scalable Solution
Your idea should be able to grow and expand beyond your current location, serving more customers without proportional increases in resources or costs.
A scalable concept can efficiently handle growth whether serving 10 or 10,000 customers by leveraging systems that maintain quality while expanding.

F.A.Q.
What happens after the program ends?
After the Startup School, you’ll have lifetime access to our community of alumni, advisors, and fellow founders plus invitations to events, resources, and opportunities to keep growing your business.
What’s the time commitment?
Expect around 3–5 hours a week.
I’m not in the Nordics. Can I still apply?
Our program content is made for the Nordic ecosystem, so you might not get the full benefit if you’re based elsewhere. That said, our ****community is open to everyone, but the Startup School is only for women based in the Nordics.
My co-founder is male, can he join?
The short answer is: no. The Startup School has intentionally been built for women founders, and while we welcome men to join and support the initiative in many different ways, they can't join the Startup School.
Do I need to be fulltime on my startup to join the School?
No, most of the women in our cohort are working on their startup while having a full-time job. The Startup School prepares you to test your idea before you are ready to leave your job and do this full time.
My startup is only an idea, can I still join?
Yes! The Startup School is designed for women who are at the earliest stage possible. When you have an idea, but are not sure where to start.
