From the 2026 Cohort

IN THEIR
OWN WORDS

I came in thinking my challenges were so specific that no one could really help. The Fellowship will listen for five minutes, then show you the bigger pattern and give you a clear next step. The speakers, materials, and tools go straight at the problems I’m facing right now, and things are said plainly, which saves time none of us have. I’ve always put my energy into building systems and teams. This Fellowship taught me to build myself too, and that when I’m clearer and better organized, everything else gets better with me. The Friday sessions are some of the most valuable hours in my week.

2026 Cohort

Thank you to the WE Intelligence | Antares Fellowship for bringing together an impressive lineup of speakers who continue to share valuable knowledge, insights, and experiences. It’s equally inspiring to be surrounded by such a talented and accomplished group of women, each bringing unique perspectives, ambitions, and strengths to the program. Grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow alongside them.

Lisa McCarthy

2026 Cohort

The most valuable part of the WE Intelligence | Antares Fellowship has been the opportunity to step back from the day-to-day demands of building Nextvestment and learn alongside other founders. Having a space to exchange perspectives, talk openly about challenges and reflect on decisions has been meaningful. The tools shared during the programme and the guest speakers brought into the sessions have also been really useful. They offer practical guidance and fresh perspectives that I can bring back to the business. Building a company can feel isolating at times, and being part of a community that understands that journey has been a real source of support.

Annabelle Lin

2026 Cohort

The dedication to the Fellows, and the insight and guidance, have exceeded every expectation I had. The tools and speakers alone are exceptional. Any founder with the chance to apply to the WE Intelligence | Antares Fellowship should consider herself very fortunate.

Kristin Thomas

2026 Cohort

The Fellowship has provided a space to reflect on the next steps for Mentorgain and learn alongside other women founders. I’ve particularly appreciated the generosity with time and insights during our one-on-one review, with practical guidance on how I present myself as a founder, structure our offerings and approach potential investors. I’m grateful to the team for their thoughtful support throughout the journey.
