Peer Mentoring and Support Programme for Women Entrepreneurs & Professionals

We're happy to launch our special 5-month peer mentoring programme, designed for women entrepreneurs & professionals who want to strengthen their journey while inspiring and supporting others. Throughout this program, we’ll create a space for women to share their expertise, support each other and grow together—both professionally and personally.

This unique ecosystem brings together women entrepreneurs at all levels, where everyone has the opportunity to be both a mentor and a mentee. By meeting monthly, we’ll build growth, encouragement and solidarity. Ready to join us on this empowering journey?

What is peer mentoring?

Peer mentoring is a supportive and friendly relationship where someone experienced shares their knowledge and guidance with someone just starting out. It’s a fantastic way to navigate challenges, reflect on decisions and gain fresh perspectives.

How does it work?

Each participant will take part in at least one 1-hour mentoring session per month. During these sessions, mentors and mentees will meet to discuss a specific topic and exchange ideas. If you choose to take on both roles, you can join two sessions each month.

Program goals

Our aim is to create a warm, supportive network for women entrepreneurs and professionals. By sharing knowledge and experiences, participants will not only grow their businesses but also feel more confident and empowered in their personal development journeys.
