Join The First Queer & Feminist Incubator
A 6-month online programme bringing you all the support you need to launch or grow your feminist or LGBTIQ+ project
Entrepreneurship is not an easy road. When you work alone, you can get stuck or procrastinate indefinitely. Don't you have a few friends who have been talking for years about opening a bookstore-café or a website to show their artwork?
Whether you are at the idea stage or have already launched your project and are in the development phase, with BØWIE, you will never be alone. You will work with other queer and feminist project teams, connect with our Alumni·æ, Experts, and Role Models who were standing exactly where you stand today. Always find the support, inspiration, and this extra motivation boost you need from your BØWIE community. Join BØWIE and get access to the home of queer and feminist creators, to learn, connect and grow together.

They Made It With BØWIE
How Dorena Pads contributed to erase the menstruation taboo in Cameroon
"The incubation programme was the best experience I had in 2020. I don’t think that Dorena Pads would have achieved so much in such a short period of time without BØWIE"
Why you should join
Dominik Cavalli, Kweer Social
The whole BØWIE team was supportive in every way, gave critical yet positive feedback and they treated all the participants with respect and created a strong sense and feel for a community.
Lovis, Fluid
BØWIE helped us to get a much more clear vision of who we are and where want to go with this project.
Dunja Kobel, Vulveria
My key learning was that I can trust myself and my skills. It was very empowering.
Sandra, L'Evasure
I developed new skills, learned to trust myself, became even more inspired by seeing all the other amazing projects.
Céline Brockmann, Genitalia
BØWIE Incubator is a fantastic tool to make your project pick up speed and visibility!
