The 1 million euro woman

"I am what you would call a late "daredevil". After a corporate career and a career as a consultant/interim manager for more than 20 years, I left that comfort zone of exchanging time for money ... at the age of 50. I entered unknown territory on several levels: starting a 'real' company in a sector that I only knew as a consumer. The idea for my company came, as is often the case, from a frustration I experienced for which I saw a solution. After three years I sold my ' baby' and started researching the reasons why so many female founded businesses remain (too) small, hesitate hiring staff and don't raise or ask for enough external funds. 93% of female founders never hit 1 million euro in revenue, two thirds never achieve 100.000 euro. My research gave rise to a female-only accelerator programme, a new company, outgrow, both aimed at helping female entrepreneurs to scale their business and a book, The 1 Million Euro Woman."
