EYnovation™ In The Spotlight – Female Founders & Funding

Tickets

Description

Learn more about Female Founders & Funding with 3 leading entrepreneurs! ***Note: This event is Free of charge and open to everyone

In 2020, only 3 percent of investment money went to women-founded companies.

Raising capital is always a tough challenge for a starting business. Especially when there’s a female founder leading that business, so it seems. Why do female founders raise less money than their male counterparts? Are female founders less ambitious? Is the investment landscape still too masculine-oriented in 2022?

As a founder, there are many questions to be answered before finding the right fit for investors. Who should you address first, how are you going to pitch, what’s the right amount of financing to ask for, should I go alone or bring my team, … and so on. Do female founders have more hurdles to overcome?

Food for thought… and an open discussion! On September 27, we offer you an inspiring evening with 3 Female Founders as our guests. They will tell you about their successes, challenges and findings throughout their journey as an entrepreneur.

Don’t miss this!
