The world needs more women in charge. More girls leading boldly. More spaces where creativity, confidence, and big ideas are encouraged from the start. But right now, the odds are stacked - and the gap starts early.

  • 81% of UK young people can’t name a female entrepreneur.

    We’re changing that -with diverse role models who show girls leadership looks like them.

  • 63% of girls 11–18 have never thought about starting a business.

    Not from lack of ambition, but lack of visibility. We Can Be makes it fun and possible.

  • 74% of young adults leave school without financial education.

    We’re making money skills simple and empowering.

  • <2% of venture capital funding goes to women-led businesses.

    We’re building the pipeline early - giving girls the tools to disrupt the status quo.

Hi, I’m Kim - the founder of We Can Be. I’ve spent 16 years working in corporate innovation, with the last five focused on inclusion, entrepreneurship, and impact. I’ve led programmes supporting underrepresented founders, and championed people who’ve been overlooked by traditional systems.

And here’s what I’ve learned: If we want to create real change - we have to start younger. We Can Be was born from that belief: if girls are given the tools early to dream big, take risks, and build confidence, they won't just participate in the future of business... they'll lead it.

This isn’t about raising the next tycoon: It’s about helping girls realise their ideas are valid, their voice is powerful, and they deserve to take up space - right now.

The Future Needs New Skills

The world is evolving fast - and kids deserve to be ready.

  • Over 70% of UK employers say creative and analytical thinking are the most in-demand skills.
  • Financial literacy is now essential - but still not part of the core curriculum.
  • Communication, problem-solving, and adaptability are the power skills of the future - and they’re being taught too late, if at all.

We Can Be gives kids a head start - not by adding pressure, but by unlocking their potential.

Opportunity Spotting is a Superpower!

Most world-changing ideas start the same way: Someone saw a problem… and imagined a better way. We teach kids how to:

  • Notice gaps, needs, and everyday frustrations
  • Ask “Why?” and “What if?”
  • Turn passions and pain points into powerful ideas
  • Think like builders - not just consumers

We want to help girls to see possibilities where others see problems - and know they have the power to do something about them.

Spotting opportunity is a mindset that lasts a lifetime.
