Our support for Ukrainian women

Luckily, bringing people physically to the Netherlands, providing them with shelter, food and the first essentials is already very well taken care of. But where I personally see the gap is in giving people some clarity on “what’s next .
According to, Iryna Pakhomova, an Ukrainian entrepreneur living in the Netherlands. Read more about about Iryna’s story here

Meet our Founder – Dieuwke Hoogland

Our story begins in 2016 ...

Just finishing a project for Venture Cafe Rotterdam I thought: How come ? Such an amazing opportunity for innovators in the Central District of Rotterdam and hardly any women at the weekly Venture Cafe ‘Thursday Gatherings’.

Just this one thought led to the start of Female Ventures. Together with some Rotterdam based women in business I initiated Female Ventures. And with immediate success.

Currently we run our movement with more than 40 cross generation team members. We focus on awareness for and support to a conscious planning of women’s careers.  We add inspiration, education and our community to your personal venture. Curious who we are ? Meet us at our inspirational events.
