At the founder pitch at HerCareer, male founders and male-dominated founding teams can look for a female co-founder. This can be an important step for their startup project, as diverse founding teams are often more successful. For example, one McKinsey study from 2020 Companies with high gender diversity are 25 percent more likely to be above-average profitable.
At HerCareer, pitchers present their startup, as well as the field and tasks for which they are seeking a co-founder, to a predominantly female audience. Afterwards, a maximum of 12 participants can ask questions. The organizers have chosen this upper limit to ensure efficient discussion. Therefore, a traditional presentation format with a stage and presentation is deliberately avoided. Registration for the founder pitch takes place via this online form.
Trade fair matching with exhibitors and speakers
Those who aren't immediately looking for a co-founder but would rather network with exhibitors, speakers, or booth staff can take advantage of HerCareer's matchmaking service. For this, trade fair visitors fill out questionnaires and indicate their interests at the fair, such as whether they are job hunting, planning further training, or want to start their own business. They can also indicate their own skills to be matched with the best matches. In this way, HerCareer aims to better promote networking within the industry and facilitate personal exchange. More information about trade fair matching can be found here.
HerCareer is a Career fair for female graduates, women in professional and management positions, and female entrepreneurs. It serves as a contact point for female founders and entrepreneurs to network with exciting personalities from business, science, and politics. They are intended to connect with role models and learn about and exchange information about services and opportunities for female founders and entrepreneurs.
