Have you heard of the Female Founders Night yet? The Female Founders Night is a student-led initiative that was founded by students from Zeppelin University. Our goal is to motivate and inspire people to pursue their own entrepreneurial journeys, as diverse perspectives foster creativity, innovation and success in the entrepreneurial landscape. Our aim is to create a dynamic platform for constructive exchange and networking together with many impressive speakers from a wide range of industries. Why is the FFN important? Founders are essential to economic growth, job creation, innovation and progress in our economy. Yet, women still remain underrepesented in startups. The Female Founders Night aims to change this, boosting Germany's global competitiveness. #startups #femalefoundersnight #entrepreneurship

🎣 Is it hard to be the jury of a pitch competition? Think about it... 🧨 Limited time: The jury often has minimal time to grade startups. This leaves little to no room for market research or competitor analysis. 🚀 Different stages: Startups in pitch competitions vary in their growth stages. From early-stage ideas to more mature ventures, the jury must normalize these differences swiftly to ensure fair comparisons within minutes. 🤝 First impressions?: Initial perceptions can influence judging outcomes. In the actual ecosystem, the jury may already be familiar with some presenting startups. Maintaining impartiality is challenging but essential for fairness. 🔮 Limited information: Beyond current performance metrics, the task is to identify future potential and scalability. It requires forecasting the startup's trajectory based on limited information. I was invited to be part of the jury for the pitch competition at the #PeruFintechForum2024, an event organized each year by the Asociación Fintech del Perú, and witnessed the dedication and innovation that startups are bringing to the finance sector. It was a closely contested battle (like every pitch competition I've been part of the jury so far!), but after careful deliberation, we selected the deserving winners.🏆 Kambia (Platanus 23-1), KidsBook , TuCambio, Preauth. Congratulations to all the startups that participated! 💪 *It was really cool that many women went to the event; hopefully, more female founders soon!

We launched Empower Female Founders! Strengthening the startup ecosystem in Frankfurt. Our co-founder Maria Pennanen welcomed the crowd and gave some insights why only few women (less than 20%) start a company and why so few get funded (1%). We need more females who invest money in startups and female founders need to learn to play the fundraising game. This is the second start since 2016 and the Covid freeze for our community. The crowd was filled with non-Germans like our founders Maria and 🏄 Ram Shoham Shoham. Germany needs startups and people with foreign nationality seem to be more willing to take the risky path of entrepreneurship. What better way to inspire female founders than a successful founder from the region? The keynote Magdalena Pusch co-founder from FRAMEN shared with us her journey from a consumer product on Kickstarter to a 100M software product exit to Axel Springer. There is no one way to become an entrepreneur as her story shows, a passionate jazz trumpeter can find her way via Silicon Valley back to Frankfurt to set up a second startup with friends and succeed. Follow the Accelerator Frankfurt page to learn more about the seven startups in the program and stay updated on the coming monthly events. Next one is on “How to fund your startup” coming on 19/3. We are grateful for the support from Hessisches Ministerium der Finanzen (FinanzenHessen) , d-fine and HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds. The event was organised at the NIO Deutschland Frankfurt House.

A huge shoutout to the incredible female founding teams at this year's Grace - Accelerate Female Entrepreneurship Demo Day! Every team from the cohort presented such impressive businesses, I'm really excited to see their impact within climate tech, B2B SaaS, education and Femtech industries. It’s no surprise the quality was so high, not only because of Grace's leadership in this space, but data on female-led businesses speaks for itself. Although women typically make more conservative projections, women-led startups outperform male-led businesses, generating 10% more in cumulative revenue over five years: €664,300 compared to €602,420. For every euro of funding, these startups generate 78 cents, while male-founded startups generate just 31 cents 💪 💪 So congratulations to the winners!! 1st Prize: Livity by Frederike Kugland & Jil Berning 2nd Prize: Neue Meister by Anna Sauter-Getschmann 3rd Prize: Serverless Salad by Hope Wilson Audience Award: The Holistic Healthness Company by Katja Ohly-Nauber And also the other talented founders: Angelika Möbius Augustine Kangni Johanna Rief Mpho M. So Jin PARK Louisa Strasser Barbara S. Also congrats to Leonie Moos for the impeccable curation of people, Berlin State Secretary Michael Biel for his welcome, and the hearwarming closing from Dr. Sophie Pollok. #GraceAccelerator #FemaleFounders #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #DemoDay2024 #WomenInBusiness (and excuse my mediocre filmography 😎)

💐On the occasion of International Women’s Day, let’s dive into some key insights from last year’s Austrian Startup Monitor concerning female founders: ▪️In 2022, the share of female founders compared to the total number of all founders rose to 19%. This is an increase compared to the 17% we had seen unchanged in the preceding three years. ▪️The percentage of startups that have at least one woman in the founding team increased as well: from 36% in 2021 to 39% in 2022. ▪️In Carinthia, the percentage of female founders compared to the total amount of founders has remained relatively stable at around 15% for two years in a row, hence underscoring compared to the national average. These statistics highlight both ongoing progress, but also shed a light on the persisting challenges that still need to be addressed. What are your thoughts on these facts? ℹ️If you want to know more, you can find the latest version of the Austrian Startup Monitor here: https://lnkd.in/dZmp4Spk ©️Hannah Busing #internationalwomensday #facts #austrianstartupmonitor #carinthia #kärnten #austria #österreich #women #femalefounders #insights #march8th #gründerinnen #innovation #entrepreneurship #startups #readytoinnovate
