Female founders network in the Netherlands
A female founders network for women who are building big.
The Next Women is an invite-only female founders network for women building and scaling a business in the Netherlands. Small, curated groups meet in monthly masterminds on business finance, financing growth and personal finance, with quarterly socials and an annual weekend, in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and online.
01/What makes it different
Not another network for women. A room for female founders.
Founders, not freelancers.
The network is for women already building and scaling a business. Not idea-stage. Not freelance. Everyone in the room is in it and wants to go big.
Money on the table.
Most networks stop at inspiration. Ours goes to the numbers: business finance, financing growth and personal finance, talked about openly between women who have the same questions.
Small and curated.
Membership is by invitation, and we limit how many businesses we take per sector. Small groups of women at similar stages, with a few who are slightly ahead.
02/What female founders talk about here
01
Business finance
Pricing, margins, cash flow, profitability. The numbers that decide whether a company lasts.
02
Financing growth
Raising capital, debt, grants, revenue. Choosing the money that fits the business you want to build.
03
Personal finance
Your own wealth, security and choices. What you are building for yourself while you build the company.
03/Amsterdam, Rotterdam and online
Monthly masterminds
Your small group, one real question each, and the experience in the room to answer it.
Quarterly socials
The wider circle, in person. Because companionship is built between the sessions too.
An annual weekend
Time away together to think bigger than a working week allows.
