our story

Anne Bakx (24, MSc Quantitative Finance - Erasmus University) and Noa Leijdesdorff (25, MSc Biomedical Engineering - TU Delft) met in London while interviewing at the same investment bank. They saw that there is a clear need for the development of female talent. Both from female participants, who look for a place where ambitious young women can truly participate and grow, and from corporates, who are increasingly on the hunt for female talent.

With Dutchess Capital, we aim to create an immersive investment program for the development of female talent. The participants develop top quality finance and investment decision making skills and learn how to express their view on the financial markets.
