She Builds Academy
A free digital academy for female founders who want to understand venture capital, fundraising and how to prepare for growth.
A capital-readiness accelerator for 21 founders
A structured hybrid program designed to make you ready for venture capital — combining hands-on workshops, 1:1 mentoring and direct investor introductions. Built for founders in underinvested markets.
~80% sponsored by Innovation Norway for the first cohort of 21.
A deck that survives the first 30 seconds with a VC — built with you, not for you.
Round structure, target list, timing — a plan you can actually execute against.
A defensible valuation and financial model you can walk an investor through.
Masterclass on how VCs actually think — term sheets, diligence, what kills deals.
When VC isn’t the right fit: grants, revenue-based financing, strategic capital and how to combine them.
Online + in-person in Stavanger
Weekly sessions + 1:1 work
