Women Who Wow is a mentorship programme aimed at female Trinity College Dublin students who are interested in setting up their own business or social venture one day.
The programme aims to match students with experienced, accessible mentors who can help and advise mentees along the way.
Women Who Wow strongly believe that these entrepreneurship programmes are stronger and better with a better gender ratio and are actively encouraging more female students with an interest in innovation, business, or social enterprise to apply for LaunchBox, Trinity’s Student Accelerator and other Tangent Entrepreneurship programmes and accelerators.
The next iteration of the mentorship programme will commence in November 2021 with a friendly reception for all mentors and mentees.

Why Mentorship?
Almost half of female founders in startups cited a lack of available mentors or advisers as holding them back (Inc.com) – we want to make sure that Trinity students don’t face this particular barrier.
A mentor can play an important role at any stage in a woman’s career, but it is particularly important in the early stages. From mentorship you gain invaluable expertise, access to a network, support and encouragement, as well as an outsider’s objective perspective on your goals and how best to reach them.
