Power Her Up

We’ve been working hard to improve Power Her Up and are ready to launch this new online programme for 2024!

This eight-week online course is designed to give women, with an early-stage startup idea, the best foundation for success. Access world-class teaching with wellness rituals, powered by a nurturing community to help you and your early-stage startup thrive.

In this course we aim to:

You will be supported along the way with an experienced business adviser to help you navigate all the resources and support. Upon successful completion of the course, you can apply for an exclusive grant of £2,000.

The Power Her Up Programme is for all students and recent graduates from the University of Edinburgh who identify as female, including trans-women.

Our aim with this programme is to empower women as entrepreneurs and business owners for the betterment of society as a whole. For example, according to a 2019 review by the HM Treasury, up to £250 billion of new value could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as UK men.”

I loved it. I loved all of it. It’s got me buzzed to get started.

This talk might have been one of the best things I have ever been to at the University and I’ve been here for 3 years! It was so, so informative and inspiring.

I love this programme and I hope it continues because it has really helped me with everything I'm dealing with in terms of starting my own enterprise

The program has helped me to develop my self-confidence and start overcoming my fear of failure and my other limiting beliefs
