Hackathon

Let’s techify Businettes

Join our Hackathon
to help us make our vision come true! 

Hi, we are Victoria & Claire, the founders of Businettes. We have the chance to get more than € 100K in funding but we can’t get it without you! By supporting us with your creative ideas, you will get the chance to support the ideas of many aspiring female entrepreneurs out there, too! 

& by joining, you’ll get the chance to win up to 1.500€!

When & where does it take place?

What do we need?

We are looking for innovative brains with a specialization in tech or psychology to help us come up with innovative ideas in order to optimize the concept of our pre-incubator platform that supports aspiring female entrepreneurs. 

What’s on the tech side?

Our platform will focus on strengthening women’s entrepreneurial skills via a digital founders training that helps them turn their business idea into a pitch-perfect business case. The training will be gamified and is 100% automated. 

What’s on the psychological side? 

Besides our focus on strengthening our user’s business expertise through the founders training, we also aim at tackling one of the biggest factors that keeps women from starting their business: The lack of confidence.   
The user experience will therefore be enhanced through common confidence-boosting techniques such as visualisation, affirmations, gamification as well as relationship building and matching them with sparring partners from the Businettes community. 

What’s the problem? 

Although the jury of the grant is very fond of our idea, they think the technological aspect of the platform is not innovative enough. Tech-innovation is one of their key criteria to give us the grant. They are also missing evidence from psychologists that prove that our confidence-boosting techniques can have a (lasting) impact on our users’ level of self-confidence and also reduce their risk aversion – the fact that Victoria, one of our co-founders, is currently enrolled in a psychological councelling and coaching study-program is not enough.  

We could therefore use some smart brains to help us come up with some creative ideas on how to “wow” the jury with a more tech-innovative, psychologically proven concept. 

How can you help?

Share your ideas on how we can innovate the technological side of the platform and / or improve (and prove!) the impact on women’s self-confidence.
