WHY I'M DOING WHAT I'M DOING

"I am what you would call a late "daredevil". After a corporate career, mainly as a consultant/interim manager, I left the comfort zone of trading time for money ... at the age of 50. I entered unknown territory on several levels such as starting a 'real' company in a sector that I only knew as a consumer. The idea for my company stemmed, 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, are slow(er) in hiring staff and lack funding. I discovered that less than one out of ten female founders ever hit 1 million euro in revenues. More than half never achieve 100.000 euro. My research gave rise to a number of initiatives: a female-only accelerator programme (in collaboration with UCLL, a book 'De vrouw van 1 miljoen (The 1 Million Euro Woman) and a new company with the same name, all aimed at helping female entrepreneurs to build multimillion euro businesses.

Growth guide for
female founders

I am targeting female entrepreneurs who have the ambition to scale to a 1 million euro in revenues and more, but who are looking for the right levers and ways to deal with their barriers to growth in order to reach that first milestone.

What readers say ...

“I recognize my entrepreneurial and life motto 'Dream, Dare, Do' in Véronique’s book. She offers a very pragmatic interpretation to it. Addressing a concrete dream (1 million euro in revenues) and very familiar barriers that often stand in the way of (female) entrepreneurs who dare and act. With these tips and insights based on how female founders run their companies and the struggles they face, this milestone suddenly seems a lot more feasible.”
