.You consider yourself a highly driven ‘intrapreneur’ but your job seems to stifle your ability to express your full potential and you feel stuck!
.You have identified a market gap that can be solved with technology and are now toying with the idea of starting your own tech company.
.Perhaps you do not have a technical background and/or you are at a loss with where to start.
.On top of all this, you are not sure if running a tech company is compatible with having a balanced life.
.
And now, you want to have an actionable plan on how you can transition from employee to entrepreneur, in the most feasible and safe way.
INTRODUCING
Venturing Women Lab
Venturing Women Lab is a 10-week online incubator program designed for visionary women with tech product ideas. It is for women who want to defy corporate boundaries and unleash their full potential by solving a significant market need with innovative tech solutions.
We will guide you on your path of launching your tech company with confidence.

The time commitment required is compatible with your full-time job.
You require an average of 6-12 hrs per week.
Designed with busy multi-tasking women in mind!
Action brings clarity!
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 10 WEEKS
[PROVIDED YOU PUT IN THE EFFORT]
You’ll finally stop thinking and start acting.
You will have developed a solid plan for the next 3-6 months both for yourself and your business.
You will have the first prototype, customer feedback, clear understanding of how to make money with your product, a pitch deck should you need to fundraise and a totally new environment of aspiring founders around you.
You may get adamant this is the journey you want to pursue.
Or you may decide to postpone this adventure to a later moment in your life.
You may pitch your idea to your employer and build it within your organisation as an intrapreneur keeping the safety and security of your job but implementing change you want to see.
You may even figure out entrepreneurship is not for you and give up on it all together.
This conclusion will release a lot of energy that is
currently channelled into wondering ‘shall I or shall I not?’
and allow you to proceed with clarity.
Our programme has a rigorous pace consisting of two tracks that run in parallel. Business track walks you step-by-step through the process of launching your tech company. Personal transformation track supports your mindset shift from employee to entrepreneur as well as your identity change.

You consider yourself an intrapreneur and driver of change at your workplace, but you seem to have hit a ceiling
Your ideas have been grossly undervalued and sidestepped at your workplace and you want an opportunity to create your own environment as an entrepreneur that reflects your values and leadership style
You know that you are worth more than your job can offer and you feel this restlessness to explore beyond the boundaries of the corporate world
You've spotted a problem that can be solved with tech but you’re not technical and unsure of how to get started
Or maybe you have technical knowledge but lack business acumen
You also want to be able to design your dream life that gives you enough flexibility and quality time with loved ones
You sense that it’s time to transition from corporate and launch your idea and you need practical guidance and support.
This program is a perfect fit for you if:
This is your sign to take the first step towards your dreams
We DO NOT recommend that you sign up for the program if:
You simply want to start a “small business” that is not scalable including lifestyle businesses (small businesses are great but this program isn’t tailored to that)
You haven’t identified any gaps in the market and do not have an idea to work on
You want to be self-employed as a freelancer
You want to run a service-based business like coaching, consulting, marketing agencies, etc.
You do not have plans to build a tech-driven business
You are not ready to put in the work and follow the tasks in the program
Our program is rigorous and meticulously designed to guide you from idea validation to market-ready within 10 weeks. Therefore, we recommend that you apply only if you're prepared to commit to the work required to test both your ideas and yourself.
How Venturing Women Lab was born
After 14 years in the corporate world, Darya Kamkalova, founder of Venturing Women Lab, hit her glass concrete ceiling and quit her job at an multinational corporation. She had spent a decade working in a confluence of two-male dominated industries: data and automotive.
To figure out her path, Darya experimented with freelancing, considered building an investment-focused fintech, and explored opportunities to build her own venture fund to channel more money into female founders’ hands. In parallel, she interviewed female founders and investors on her podcast Venturing Women.
Her own transition from employee to entrepreneur, a huge mindset shift associated with it and numerous conversations with aspiring founders made her launch the Venturing Women Lab to support other women going through this transition.

Building a tech company is often seen as a hero's journey, a sacrifice, a deed. We want to shatter this narrative.
Instead, it can be an opportunity to play by your own rules and design a business and life in sync with your heart.
Although undeniably challenging, this path should not suppress your identity, essence or jeopardise your relationships.
