Welcome to our revolution.
We're on a mission to transform the entrepreneurship landscape by empowering women to consider the entrepreneurial path early. "Unstoppable" is our watchword.
Building a one-stop-shop for female students.
At Women Who Build (WWB), we believe that exceptional life paths emerge from exposure to the right people and resources, at the right time.
We’re building a fun, holistic one-stop-shop to bring the startup ecosystem to female students, making early exploration the new norm. We like to think of it as a playground - a safe, resource-rich environment to learn, experiment, and have a great time!

Why we exist.
Where are the female founders?(!)
Company-building is the fuel of the global economy.
Since the dawn of times, it’s been stimulating innovation, creating jobs, shaping and reshaping industries.
The global company-building machine is broken.
“10%”. This is the share of companies founded by women in the past years. Our thesis is that, growing up, women lack the entrepreneurial role models to encourage them to take risks, believe in themselves, and seize opportunities.
Together, we can change that.
The fight for women’s voting rights. The end of apartheid in South Africa. The eradication of global pandemics. None of the great causes humanity fought for was ever solved by a single group of individuals. It always takes a dedicated village.
Meet "Women Who Build" (WWB).
We're the Lean In for the startup world — passionate individuals dedicated to achieving gender equality in the tech and startup sectors. Our mission is to transform the entrepreneurship landscape, one person, industry, and country at a time.
We're starting where dreams are shaped.
We want women to recognise and unleash their founders' superpowers early - i.e. at universities, "sandbox environments" where they are actively thinking about their future and have the time and flexibility to experiment.
Our village is inclusive.
We aren't an initiative by women, for women. We've been supported by fantastic male peers our whole lives and want everyone on board. No matter who you are or where you come from, you can join us in reshaping the entrepreneurship landscape.
