The story of The Plan AB - in the words of the Founder

Sometimes when you’ve been doing something for a long time and things are running smoothly, it’s easy to settle into a comfort zone. But every so often, something comes along that shakes things up — pushing you to pause, reflect, and reimagine your purpose. That moment of disruption, while challenging, can also be incredibly powerful. For me, it led to the creation of The Plan AB — a fresh, focused initiative driven by everything I’ve learned from years of working within the startup and innovation ecosystem.

The Plan AB is a Startup Accelerator and Innovation Hub with a dual mission: to support founders in scaling their businesses and to equip women with the skills and confidence to become leaders in their fields. Our Women’s Leadership Fellows Program is a key part of this vision — built to empower women professionals and entrepreneurs through leadership development, mentorship, and strong peer networks. We're committed to building an inclusive ecosystem where both men and women can thrive and lead with impact.

In addition to our core programs, we’re leveraging our experience to build dynamic events, engage with forward-thinking corporates, and spark innovation across industries. What started as a leap of faith has quickly evolved into a growing, purpose-driven movement — full of energy, collaboration, and bold ambition. At The Plan AB, we're just getting started.

Thanks to our partners who helped
