What is the Women Founders Network?

Women Founders Network is a strong student-driven network established be the university alliance, Circle U. The network aims to support young women on their entrepreneurial journey through knowledge sharing, exchange of best practices and competence building. It is also a feminist project and a focused effort to improve the existing entrepreneurial and work culture/environment in areas where women and their needs have not yet gained a firm foothold.

The Women Founder Network is run by the InCU.bator, part of The Kitchen at AU, which focuses on student-driven innovation.
