Due to structural inequality and gender stereotypes, women entrepreneurs typically face increased barriers to success. The goal of this project, sponsored by Lagertha, was to understand women with entrepreneurial mindsets and prepare Lagertha’s Incubator Program to meet the needs of its participants. We achieved this through interviews, surveys, and analyses of start-up support websites and white label virtual platforms. We provided Lagertha with content recommendations to be applied to an external white label virtual platform to house their Incubator Program.
