How the Digital Business Founders Academy works

The Digital Business Founders Academy is a hands-on course designed for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners ready to launch or grow their ventures in the digital world. Through a combination of expert-led workshops and one-on-one mentoring, participants will gain the practical skills needed to build a strong online presence and drive real results.

Every participant is matched with an experienced mentor who will provide tailored advice, help overcome specific business challenges, and guide them in applying the course learnings directly to their project. By the end of the academy, you’ll be equipped to independently plan and execute digital strategies that attract customers, boost your visibility, and grow your business with confidence.

You’ll learn how to:
  • Design a high-converting, user-friendly website with clear structure and calls-to-action
  • Set up basic analytics to track performance
  • Build a strong and consistent brand presence on Instagram and LinkedIn
  • Create compelling content and visuals that resonate with your target audience
  • Understand the essentials of paid advertising, including campaign setup, budgeting, and key performance metrics
  • Craft content strategies for blogs, newsletters, and videos
  • Apply basic SEO, local optimization, and automation tools for long-term growth

8 hours of business workshops

We'll dive deep into various business skills with interactive workshops and hands-on training.

Turn Your Website Into a Sales Machine – Optimize or Build From Scratch

Whether you already have a website that needs improvement or you're just getting started, this workshop will help you take the right steps. We'll begin with a clear strategy session to define your website’s goals, ideal visitors, and core business purpose – because a good website starts with knowing what it's for. From there, you’ll learn how to create or optimize a site that drives business results: building a clear structure, crafting strong calls to action, and setting up basic analytics. Don’t have a website yet? You’ll get practical tips on the easiest no-code tools to build one quickly – even if you’ve never touched a line of code.

"Great program! My mentor match was perfect.. absolutely helpful and essential in guiding me and giving me support, practical advice and encouragement. The workshops were also practical and interesting."
Daniela McFarren
EU Public Affairs Manager
at DIAGEO
"It was invaluable for me to be able to talk with my mentor Kate Funk about things regarding the team or the different situations I was facing throughout the six months. I was also inspired by the drive other women in the program had to learn and grow and to see that the things we are dealing with are often similar no matter our background and that we can learn a lot from each other. Since my mentor lives in Florida, we had our sessions online, but we really clicked from the very first one. I learned the importance of having to lead myself first before I can be of any use to anybody else. We went through our Gallup test results which helped me understand my strengths much more and I also got many great tips for hiring as it’s something I’m also responsible for in my team."

"Femme Palette was a very inspiring and interesting project for me. Thanks to the program, I had the opportunity to meet many interesting women, share and develop my experience in the field of leadership and inspire each other. I appreciate not only the interesting Workshops, but also the tailor-made mentoring, which gave me the opportunity to solve current problems, but also the long-term strategy and direction of the team. Simply perfect!"

Katerina Grebenova

"The Leadership Program of Femme Palette has been a true blessing in my life. I have discovered a power within me that I didn't know about thanks to all their workshops and mentoring sessions, became more confident and have a clear vision of what to do to keep making progress in my life - as a professional and as an individual. I would recommend it a thousand times to everyone!"
