New event to increase funding opportunities for female founders - register now for first event on November 10

The Female StartAperitivo is holding a free event for female entrepreneurs and their supporters in the north on November 10, 2021 in the run-up to Women's Entrepreneurship Day in Knust Hamburg on St. Pauli. The aim is to increase funding opportunities for women by creating access to investors and representatives of established companies and institutions.

Registrations are now being accepted online for the event.

Panels and talks with female founders 

Dalia Das, founder of Neue Fische, Dr. Anne Lamp, founder of Traceless, and Carolin Kunert, founder of Knister Grill will take part in an opening panel and offer advice on how to enter a funding round successfully. Other speakers include Heidrun Twesten and Marlis Jahnke (Equalizer podcast) with a talk on "Startups founded by women: underestimated, overperforming asset" and Lisa Dahlke (founder of Localyze) and Freya Oehle (founder of Dreitausendsassa) who will give insight into the "Dos & Don'ts when looking for investors".

Six start-ups, five of which (Actitude, Phoenix Reality, Recyclehero, Tutaka and Matched.io) were selected from 15 entrants by an audience and jury vote on October 27, 2021 in the Eeden co-creation space, will present their business ideas in five-minute pitches. The Pink! start-up has secured  a wild card.
