Mission & target audience

#SheDIDIT describes itself as an impact-driven Belgian incubator that has been creating an inclusive space since 2018 for women entrepreneurs with diverse cultural backgrounds. They focus on strengthening skills, expanding networks and offering different programmes to turn entrepreneurial dreams into reality.

According to their “about” page, #SheDIDIT is a non-profit organisation. They start from the idea that women of colour have less access to the “traditional playing field” of entrepreneurship (coaching, network, knowledge and entrepreneurship organisations). That’s why they build “their own table” where the chairs don’t run out.

What options do you have at #SheDIDIT? (as on the website)

The website describes (among other things) these entry points:

• SheMeansBusiness: if you have a concrete idea and are ready to start.
• Events: if you want to explore/learn from others.
• Youthpreneurs: if you are under 30 and want group coaching.

Difference: SheMeansBusiness vs Youthpreneurs

The website makes this distinction:

• Youthpreneurs: group coaching for young women (15–30), runs on weekends and ends with a pitch to a jury.
• SheMeansBusiness: individual business coaching for women with a concrete idea who want to start; you can register at any time and plan coaching (online/offline) depending on the waiting list.
