This project focuses on starting, growing or leading women in tech within the business world and the academic sector. This means that both innovative entrepreneurs and researchers are envisaged. The selection criteria are the following: female (co-)founder, own shares of a company or researcher involved in an innovative growth company; registered office is in Flanders; meet one of these two conditions: to be ready to take the next step in a leadership journey as a female founder; to have more than € 100,000 turnover per year or to have raised more than € 100,000 in capital (subsidies, win-win loan, credit, venture capital, business angels, ...) Even if the women has less than € 100,000 in turnover or capital, she can still sign up for the program. The selection committee will review and evaluate all files separately. The organisation goal is to make the women feel fully empowered at the end of the program, embracing a new skillset to grow their business. The organisation does this based of individual guidance. Throughout the year the women can continue to register for the Women in Tech | The Thrive Project webinars, which provide them with numerous additional insights. Based on personal guidance, women are accelerated as entrepreneurs. In concrete terms, The Thrive Project facilitates an individual coaching relationship with role models, experts and mentors. They help women on their way to growing their business. During this guidance, there is a specific focus on 'balanced leadership'.
