THE INVESTOR NETWORK FOR FOUNDER WOMEN

Innovation needs diversity. That’s why we want to support female founders and young entrepreneurs with knowledge, creativity, capital and our fantastic network so that they have the chance to grow faster and more successfully.

Sponsored by

Female investors

Through our network, female investors get to know exciting start-ups with female founders or co-founders.

We connect potential female investors with each other and thus enable every type of financial investment possible.

We also want to encourage women with an interest in start-ups to become investors – for more female empowerment!

For this purpose, we offer different formats, such as webinars and info events on various investment topics like business angel investment. This gives new investors a first insight into the investor landscape and prepares them for their first investments.

Female founders

As successful and experienced female entrepreneurs and managers, we support start-ups as sparring partners, mentors and consultants. We act as a non-profit intermediary between diverse-led startups and female-led smart money.

We take a holistic approach as we accompany start-ups through all phases of entrepreneurship. In addition, we offer female founders the opportunity to further develop themselves and their ideas through a wide variety of webinars, info events and networking events.

Exclusive access to our network

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” (African proverb)

Our network is meant to connect, motivate, encourage and provide a platform of exchange. Already at the start, we are very well networked in the German landscape of women entrepreneurs, managers and scientists. Let’s start together today!

FOR

THE MOTIVATION
OF OUR INVESTORS

"If we want more women to start up, we need a more female investor landscape. This is female empowerment in the best sense. With my participation in encourageventures, I support committed female entrepreneurs and an idea I am convinced of."

MARTINA PFEIFER / FINANCE EXPERT – INVESTOR – BUSINESS ANGEL

"Innovation needs diversity. And female doers, like the founders of encourageventures. Anyone who underestimates female-led start-ups has not yet arrived in the future. With our investment, we're already taking the lead."

STEPHANIE BSCHORR / CEO HTG WIRTSCHAFTPRÜFUNGS GMBH – FORMER VDU PRESIDENT

"The 'glass ceiling' also exists in the start-up world. We need more diverse teams in VC funds too, so that the potential of start-ups founded by women does not continue to be underestimated."

INA SCHLIE / DIPLOMA ECONOMIST – SUPERVISORY BOARD – BUSINESS ANGEL
