FULLY BOOKED

Are you thinking about founding your own company? Do you want to meet inspiring female founders? Are you curious about how it is to be a female founder in a male-dominated industry?

We will address these and many more questions in our newly launched female founder event series. You have the possibility to talk to five inspiring female founders or female leaders in a fireside chat about their entrepreneurial journey in small groups of 10-15 people.

Why?

Of all company founders in Switzerland, only around 20% are female and the percentage for science- and tech-based startups is even lower. We want to show aspiring female founders that there are many inspiring female role models out there.
