Founderland has launched PAM (Pitch AI Mentor), a groundbreaking AI tool designed to help women of colour founders practise and refine their investor pitches. Built to close the persistent funding gap, PAM provides private, low-stakes rehearsal space and tailored feedback to boost founders’ confidence and delivery. The tool is already being used by accelerators, universities, and startup programmes to level the playing field for underrepresented entrepreneurs.

Founderland was selected as a recipient of the Google.org Impact Challenge for Women and Girls, recognising its work to increase access to funding and support for women of colour entrepreneurs in Europe. The award provides catalytic funding to expand Founderland’s programming and amplify its mission to reshape the startup ecosystem through equity-focused tools and community.
