Pitch your project in the Pitch Room of the Elle Active Forum on November 15th for a chance to win a spot in the Women Start Acceleration Program by Orange and High Her!
Are you a woman or self-identified woman entrepreneur building a business powered by technology (software or hardware)? Apply to the pitching session held during the Elle Active Forum on November 15th at The Merode.
12 selected start-ups will present their tech project and receive precious advice and feedback from our jury! Two pitch sessions will punctuate the morning, from 10am to 12pm. This is the opportunity for you to present your idea to business angels and win a coaching package. A unique opportunity to bring your ambitions to life in a friendly setting.
2 prizes at stake
2 prizes will be awarded, each providing a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of female entrepreneurs.
The Orange Women Start prize opens the door to a three-month acceleration program at Orange Fab Belgium. The Orange Women Start program includes privileged access to the Orange innovation ecosystem, business development opportunities, customized mentoring and, of course, enhanced visibility thanks to the support of the Orange brand and a special feature in ELLE.
High Her will be awarding the Ready to Raise Prize, which will provide one winner with three months’ support from a financing coach to help her prepare, structure and successfully raise funds.
With this double award – Orange Women Start and High Her – the Pitch Room becomes more than ever a strategic springboard for women entrepreneurs. High Her, an association dedicated to the financing and growth of women founders, provides a concrete response to one of the greatest challenges faced by women entrepreneurs: access to the capital needed to expand.
Who is it for?
The Pitch Room is aimed at female entrepreneurs based in the Benelux region, who have already taken the key step of developing an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and convincing their first customers. The essential criterion is that their project includes a technological dimension, whether it’s an application, a platform or an innovative solution for the B2B or B2C market.
