👩🔬👩🔬 At Albotherm, we are proud to be a female-founded start-up, and this International Women's Day, we want to highlight the incredible achievements of other women-led start-ups in our community. 🌐 Today, we are excited to give a shout-out to some remarkable female-founders and their start-ups that are making waves in the tech industry. Giovanna Laudisio CEO of Naturbeads, Madeleine Nichols, PhD Co-founder of Protolyst, and Josephine Dorh CTO of FluoretiQ Limited - your accomplishments inspire us and countless others! 🚀 Even with the notable progress achieved by female founders in the tech sector, according to a recent report by techSPARK uk, in 2023 only 2.6% of equity investments in the South West were directed toward companies led by fully female founding teams. While we acknowledge the progress made, it's evident that there's more work to be done to level the playing field. 🌈 As we celebrate the achievements of female founders, let's also use this day to call for greater support, recognition, and investment in women-led start-ups. By cultivating an environment that champions diversity and inclusion, we can collectively push these numbers higher and unlock the full potential of our talented entrepreneurs. #iwd2024 #inspireinclusion #femalefounders #diversityintech

We have a wonderful opportunity for those of you interested in becoming a business angel! 🙌🏽 The European Institute of Technology (EIT), with the support of FRONTTIER, is organizing the second edition of Supernovas Business Angel Academy, designed to empower the next generation of women angel investors in Europe.  This program, fully funded by the European Commission, will equip up to 100 women across Europe with the knowledge and network to invest in promising startups, helping close the gender gap in European Tech.  The program is free for the selected participants. Why Supernovas? ⭐ Goal: Increase the number of female angel investors in European tech, where they currently represent on average only 10% of all angels. We want to foster greater women's representation in angel investing and the European tech scene. ⭐ Impact: Research shows women investors are twice as likely to invest in women-led startups. Supernovas will directly drive more capital towards these companies, helping close the gender funding gap. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ddsfQCmK and apply: https://lnkd.in/eVthNUHm

Have you ever thought about how unfair it is that some people cause a problem, yet it's other people who end up dealing with it? 🥲Let's consider the global tech industry, now worth $5.2 trillion. As one of the most revolutionary and evolving areas of the global market, it undoubtedly takes steps towards liberating humanity and opening doors for everyone's better future. However, even in the largest tech corporations in the US, only 26% of women are employed, and a mere 10.9% hold CEO or senior leadership roles. Regarding the presentation (or underrepresentation) of women, despite having some male supporters, the problem still remains something that women have to deal with. If you're a woman in tech, you're probably reading this and nodding your head. And if you're a man, then we're putting the responsibility on you for not taking more action. Yes, you heard it right. The reason 90% of men dominate the industry isn't only a women's issue to solve because it's not women who made it happen. Every year, millions of women attempt to break the ice, but due to traditions, biases, and actual femicide in their home countries, they aren't making it to executive chairs. To address this, the Aurora Tech Award created a safe space during our master class “Not our problem: How mеn should treat women in IT?” at the Web Summit. During the event (that was a part of inDrive initiatives), 150 guests asked 40 meaningful questions to our speakers: Mayrá Casttro (CEO of Invest Amazônia), Elina Vale (CEO of the femtech startup Essence App), and Ekaterina Smirnova (head of the Aurora Tech Award). We're pleased to announce that our Award is one step closer to solving this problem. 💪♀️ Pssst! Eager to know who the women entrepreneurs shaping the present and future of the tech industry are?
