For women building big
Wealth is the next frontier of equality.
Women who are building businesses need other women who are building businesses. The Next Women is the room where that happens.
The Next Women is an invite-only membership for women building and scaling a business in the Netherlands. Small, curated groups meet in monthly masterminds on business finance, financing growth and personal finance, with quarterly socials and an annual weekend, in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and online.

01/Why we exist
Not another network.
Not another glossy community built for Instagram. Not another dead online platform. A room where women are actually building, and want to build big.
Where you can talk about the big things: growth, money, financing, raising capital, the difficult decisions you do not say out loud elsewhere.
More women building bigger businesses. More women building wealth. Doing it with other women in their corner.
02/What we talk about
Money. A lot.
Building a business and building your own wealth are not two separate conversations. We treat them as one.
01
Business finance
Pricing, margins, cash flow, profitability. The numbers that decide whether a company lasts.
02
Financing growth
Raising capital, debt, grants, revenue. Choosing the money that fits the business you want to build.
03
Personal finance
Your own wealth, security and choices. What you are building for yourself while you build the company.
And underneath all three: companionship.
Women who are building businesses need other women who are building businesses. Women who open doors, share what they know, make introductions, challenge each other and cheer each other on. We facilitate that on purpose.
Inside the room
You can leave your game face at the door.
A room where you can say “I have no idea what I’m doing”, and someone answers “I’ve been there. Here’s what I did.”
03/How it works
Who it is for
Women already building and scaling a business. Not idea-stage. Not freelance. If you are in it and you want to go big, this is your room.
How you get in
By invitation, carefully curated. We limit how many businesses we take per sector, because diversity of business, background, age and location is what makes this useful, not just nice.
How groups work
Small groups of women at similar stages, with a few who are slightly ahead in the mix. Real peer support, plus someone who has already done the thing you are about to do.
Where
Online and offline, starting in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
04/In the room
01
Monthly masterminds
Your small group, one real question each, and the experience in the room to answer it.
02
Quarterly socials
The wider circle, in person. Because companionship is built between the sessions too.
03
An annual weekend
Time away together to think bigger than a working week allows.
Our gatherings are private, for members only. That is what makes it possible to leave your game face at the door.
Want to be in the room?
Membership is by invitation. Tell us about your business, and if it fits the room we are building, we will be in touch.
