How we took Grow F digital

It’s hard to believe how quickly COVID-19 turned our lives upside down. At Female Founders, we are committed to the acceleration program we promised to deliver to our founders, so we have made the switch to the digital world. Instead of meeting for three full days each month in Vienna, we have changed our schedule to a couple hours a day more regularly as we know that attention spans are generally shorter online. As a result of our new schedule, we can all say we socialized and did something productive nearly every day! 

While Grow F was not originally meant to be completely digital, there are some newfound perks. For instance, we have more international experts consulting than in the past and are working more efficiently in our shorter sessions. The best part of the switch to the digital program is our wardrobe though! Not very many people get to wear sweatpants in professional settings, but we do!
