What Happens After You Become A Breakthrough Labs Member?

So, you’ve decided now is the time; you’re ready to get serious about launching or scaling up your tech business. You are looking to join a tribe of women who will be building their businesses alongside you. But perhaps you’re wondering if this is the right time. Maybe it would help to understand just what happens after you sign up for a membership plan.

The Member Hub

Did you know there’s a secret part of our website? After signing up, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to log into the Members Hub and create a profile. It’s all very straightforward and a great chance to introduce yourself and your business to the community. You’ll also be able to read the profiles of other Breakthrough Labs members and begin to make connections.

Resources

Once you’ve set up a profile in the Member Hub, you’ll probably want to explore our Learning library. Here you will find tons of guides, articles, webinar recordings, worksheets and masterclasses. So, when you join Breakthrough Labs, you’re not just accessing future events, you’ll be exposed to our entire back catalogue too. There is much to explore here - some great written pieces as well as video recordings of former workshops with a range of experts. We recommend taking your time to avoid overwhelm; have a browse and put some time aside to explore a little more of our Learning library each week.

In addition, you’ll be able to explore our comprehensive list of Trusted Suppliers. These are service providers who provide quality services that founders need, and many of whom offer special discounts to Breakthrough Labs members. 

Register for Events

We are an active group, keen to learn, meet experts and develop skills together, so our online events are a huge attraction. The good news is that after signing up for membership, you’ll be able to register for events with your new login information.

All of our monthly events are included in your membership - Masterclasses, Meet the Investor sessions, She Built This sessions (talks and Q&As with successful female entrepreneurs), Coaching Conversations with our Coach-in-Residence Janine Matho, Friday Coffee Breaks with fellow members, and more.

New Member Welcome

The first online session you’ll want to attend is our New Member Welcome, because this is for you! You’ll meet Breakthrough Labs founder, Dr Kristen Weatherby, who will take you on a virtual tour of our platform and resources and take some time to get to know you and your business, and give you some great advice on how to get the most out of your membership.

On-Going Communication

Of course, we don’t expect you to be logged into our Members Hub all the time - we’ll help keep you informed of events, learning resources, news, offers from trusted suppliers and investment news from our investor community, through our weekly community update.

If you’re not following us on social media already, you may want to do so. Here we share ideas and continue discussions with members, non-members, partners and other supporters of Breakthrough Labs and our female founders.Breakthrough Labs on LinkedIn

Concierge Membership

If you have signed up for Concierge Membership, you will gain all of the above. However, you’ll also have access to our Directory of Advisors. Furthermore, we’ll set up a 1:1 with Breakthrough Labs founder, Dr Kristen Weatherby, to discuss your needs and challenges. During this call, Kristen will be able to learn more about you and your business, enabling her to match you with the business leader advisors who can best help you accelerate.

When Should I Sign Up For Breakthrough Labs?

Look, with very few exceptions, anything you can do to move your business forward should be done now. Because, in many ways, we’re never ready, and there are always so many reasons to wait. But waiting to join a start-up community like ours is a bit like wanting to be in better shape before you join the gym, or cleaning the house before the cleaner comes (because you don't want them to think you’re messy). Don’t worry if you’re not where you want to be in your business journey - that’s what we’re here for.

Don’t be concerned if you don’t have a lot of time to commit - we’ll help you find time and make it count.

Don’t be surprised if you still don’t ‘feel’ like a founder - we’re here to build belief as well as businesses.

Community is so important, particularly for female founders. So, whether it’s Breakthrough Labs or another start-up community, we urge you to find a network that can support you in the right way.

If you’re looking to make connections with fellow female founders, develop business skills - including securing investment, and benefit from some coaching, and share both your struggles and successes with those on a similar journey, then congratulations - you might have found your tribe at Breakthrough Labs.
