What #SheDIDIT does

#SheDIDIT is a Belgium-based non-profit association (vzw, enterprise number BE 0680.560.710) founded in 2018 by Lien Warmenbol, operating as an impact-driven incubator for women entrepreneurs from diverse cultural backgrounds. The organization is headquartered at Statiestraat 5, 2600 Berchem (Antwerp), with coaching delivered in Brussels, Ghent, and Vilvoorde, and the multilingual offering (Dutch, French, English, Spanish) supports operations across the Benelux. According to its own statements, #SheDIDIT has coached more than 1,000 women since inception and supports over 300 women annually across its programs.

The core offering is a multi-product ecosystem spanning four pillars: SheMeansBusiness (individual coaching, free Basic tier plus paid Premium tier of up to 6 months), Youthpreneurs (group coaching for ages 15–30, with 500+ participants since January 2021), #SheFUND (interest-free micro-loans of €1,000–€10,000 administered via the Koning Boudewijnstichting since 2023), and #SheHUB (a five-story multifunctional building in Berchem with office, event, service-station, and Body & Mind rentals). Supporting platforms include the PowerTalks initiative with Kérastase (L'Oréal), the #SheDIDIT Podcast, a blog, the Voices interview platform, and recurring events (monthly walk-ins with Xerius, StartSlim sessions with Stad Antwerpen, Level Up Festival, Girls Business Week at €50).

The revenue model is hybrid and typical of a European impact non-profit: institutional grants (Stad Antwerpen, VLAIO, European Social Fund Plus, Colruyt Foundation), tax-deductible donations channeled through the Koning Boudewijnstichting, modest program fees (Premium coaching, Girls Business Week), #SheHUB space rentals, and corporate partnership contributions (Kérastase/L'Oréal). The technology stack is standard and non-proprietary — ActiveCampaign for email/forms and Google Meet for online sessions — with no disclosed AI/ML components. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, drawing women through free events and peer referrals before enrollment into coaching, a motion reinforced by 11 institutional partners and ongoing recruitment for a Business Coach role in 2026.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• SoGal Foundation: Global community and venture fund supporting diverse women and non-binary founders through education, community and capital. Comparable because of its mission to close the funding/access gap for women of color founders - directly aligned with #SheDIDIT's focus on women with migration backgrounds.
• European Microfinance Network: European umbrella organization for microfinance providers, of which #SheDIDIT is a member via #SheFUND. Directly comparable for the #SheFUND interest-free microloan offering, which sits squarely in EMN's mandate of supporting underserved entrepreneurs across Europe.
• WEgate: European Commission's online platform for women entrepreneurs across Europe offering resources, networking and training. Directly comparable as a public-facing women-entrepreneurship support ecosystem that competes for the same diverse women entrepreneur cohort across Europe.
• Start it @KBC: Belgium's largest community-driven startup accelerator, also explicitly running women's entrepreneurship programs. Most directly comparable Belgian peer because both coach aspiring entrepreneurs in Belgium with similar freemium/grant-supported models and overlapping coach bench (Head Business Coach Sabine Claeys is also listed with Start it @KBC).
• Hub Brussels: Brussels-based agency supporting entrepreneurs with coaching, networking and visibility; explicitly listed as a #SheDIDIT partner. Directly comparable as a regional women-in-business ecosystem connector serving the same Brussels entrepreneur cohort.

Broad incumbents

• Female Founders Fund: US-based early-stage venture fund investing exclusively in women-led companies. Comparable mission focus on women entrepreneurship but at a much larger scale, VC-funded rather than grant-funded, and operating in a different geography.
• VLAIO (Flemish Agency for Innovation & Entrepreneurship): Flemish government agency funding #SheDIDIT and providing entrepreneurship support across Flanders. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering coaching and grant programs to Flemish entrepreneurs, but serving a wider demographic than #SheDIDIT's women-of-color focus.
• UNIZO: Belgium's largest organization representing self-employed entrepreneurs and SMEs, offering coaching, advice and networking. Broader incumbent serving the same Belgian entrepreneur base as #SheDIDIT but without its specific focus on women with migration backgrounds.
• Ashoka Belgium: Global social-entrepreneurship network active in Belgium that supports systems-change leaders including those focused on inclusion and diversity. Comparable mission profile (impact-driven entrepreneurship support) but operates at a much broader scale and through a fellowship model rather than coaching.

Others

• Xerius: Belgian organization supporting entrepreneurs with legal and administrative startup services; runs #SheDIDIT's monthly walk-in advice sessions. Adjacent enabler/partner rather than a direct competitor - provides the legal/administrative backbone that complements #SheDIDIT's coaching.
