At the GUILD, we developed an 8-week entrepreneurship program, which has been dubbed "mini-MBA" for first-time female entrepreneurs.

​

It's a best-in-class program that enables entrepreneurs launch their business with the support of 40 entrepreneurship experts, the help of their peers as well  as the program host Anne Cocquyt and guest speakers.

​

More than 150 entrepreneurs graduated from the program and have gone on to raise funding, get paying customers and hire teams. Check the program website for testimonials from our founders.

​

Unlike other programs, the GUILD Academy takes busy schedules of female entrepreneurs into account. We offer self-care and mindset exercises that have proven to help underrepresented entrepreneurs tackle challenges unique to them.

​

We put together a library of guides, checklists, and templates that are tailored to early-stage entrepreneurs.

​

Join us at the end of the program at our startup showcase and hear them pitch.

​

Help us move the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the right direction and be part of creating a more equitable playing field where all ideas are taken into consideration for the greater good of everybody involved in entrepreneurship and innovation.

​

Help us change the odds for female entrepreneurs

In 2020 2.1% of Venture Capital went to companies solely led by female founders, 11.6% went to mixed teams, over 85% went to male-only founding teams. Female founders fared even worse in 2020 compared to the years before and the numbers aren't changing in 2021.

A note from our founder:

​

Now more than ever, the world needs your ideas and the solutions you create to solve problems for your future customers.

​

That's why we created the 8-week GUILD Academy program to help more female entrepreneurs and underrepresented founders launch their own businesses and raise funding.

Thank you for supporting the founders who are applying to participate and can't afford the $997 tuition.
