Future Women announced the launch of an online e-learning platform and a community platform called Future Women Forum.
“Consider community-led courses, events, discussions and incubators to help entrepreneurs build their future careers and lives in one place,” said Lauren Dallas, co-founder of Future Females.
This latest venture is a learning experience built on business for women. Earlier this month, the company announced this new direction and opened its waiting list for its future women’s platform.
More than 5,000 entrepreneurs have signed up for a waiting list and are hoping to be among the first to try out the new platform. Dallas also has a waiting list of busy women who will be founding members of this new venture.
Founding members can not only contribute to the development and design of this new way of online learning, but also have access to key product features of the platform, such as courses, events, challenges, groups and the ‘Future Women’s Fund’. .
Members can contribute to and qualify for funding, mentorship and mentoring through the Future Women Fund.
“We aim to create a platform with comprehensive yet concise business courses that will empower as many women entrepreneurs as possible to develop their skills and access the resources, networks and courses to succeed in their businesses. Less often, happily,” Dallas said.
