Propeller I

Tech for everyone should be made by everyone.

Female entrepreneurs continue to face unique challenges in starting and growing businesses and these challenges are amplified in the technology sector. That’s why we created Propeller.

Our goal is to help creative, problem-solving women develop tech-enabled businesses and form a network that supports the participation of women in technology.

During this hands-on, online 8-week startup program, participants will learn about customer research, validating their business idea, and product development while receiving support from the program facilitator.

Every participant is given 2 hours outside of the session time to meet with the program facilitator to receive 1:1 support and help their startup idea come to fruition.

Facilitator: Ashley Baldwin has extensive experience advising technology startups in Maine and building product across nonprofits and startups. She spends her time kayaking, hiking and volunteering across her community in the Midcoast.

After the cohort, participants become part of a growing community of other exceptional alumnae in Maine who can help them to build their business.

Qualifications: You must be a Maine-based female entrepreneur to participate. Participants do not need any specific experience or expertise to participate in Propeller.

We have found Propeller to be most beneficial when you're exploring a concrete idea. After you register, we will be in touch to hear a little about your idea and confirm that you are able to attend ALL sessions before we finalize your registration.
