What you get
Everything you need to go from pitch-ready to investment-ready
Pitch deck & script
Your pitch is the single most important part of your raise. We craft a compelling deck and script with you — highlighting the best of your business and teaching you to answer the tricky questions.
1:1 mentor support
A dedicated mentor for the full programme, on weekly calls. Your coach, cheerleader and sounding board — working with you on your materials, business plan and investment process.
Business deep-dive
Every business has gaps. We do a deep-dive to find them — advisors to add, proof points to build — and help you plug them so your business looks like a good bet to investors.
The investment process
How to run a round as a woman founder: outreach emails, warm introductions, running investor meetings, handling prevention questions, creating momentum and closing.
Expert advice sessions
Group calls with experts on the topics investors expect you to know: financial models & valuations, product management, the investor view, go-to-market strategy, IP and share options.
Pitch practice & Demo Day
Three pitch practice sessions with the cohort and mentors, culminating in a live Demo Day where every graduate pitches to an audience of investors.
What it feels like
Built around real founders
Hover over each moment to see what makes the programme different.
Workshops that stick
Live, hands-on sessions — not lectures. You leave each one with something you can use the same week.
Pitching real investors
Practice in front of active VCs and angels before Demo Day, so the real thing feels familiar.
A cohort that has your back
A small group of female founders across the UK and Israel, learning and opening doors together.
The UK–Israel corridor
Two ecosystems, one runway
The programme runs across two of the world's deepest tech corridors. You get London's capital and investor network alongside Tel Aviv's technical depth — and introductions that cross between them.
- London — UK hub — fundraising, mentors, Demo Day
- Tel Aviv — Israel hub — tech depth, investors, talent
- Cross-border intros — warm connections that span both hubs
UK — Israel tech corridor
Expected outcomes
Where you start vs. where we aim to get you
The shift we target across the 12 weeks — week 1 to Demo Day.
Illustrative targets, not guaranteed results — outcomes vary by founder.
The funding gap
goes to women-founded companies. The standard playbook for raising money wasn't written for us — so we have to do it differently.
The good news: there is a playbook that works. We teach you the rules of the game and the strategies to put yourself in that 3%.
You need a strategy to be in that 3%
A rock-solid pitch, the tactics to run a raise, and the know-how to walk into an investor meeting projecting authority and credibility.

Potential runway extension
That's roughly 2 years 1 month of runway.
Illustrative estimate — runway assumes the full raise covers burn at your current rate. Real outcomes depend on growth, hiring and revenue.
