\"Amanda-Stella<\/a>
Amanda-Stella Birkenholz from UVC Partners:<\/strong> There are still significantly fewer female investors than male investors, and the proportion of female founders in Germany is less than 18 percent, according to the German Startup Monitor 2021. A fact that also concerns industrial engineer and UVC investor Amanda-Stella Birkenholz. When asked in the Interview with Munich Startup<\/a>When asked whether she thinks there is a need for special networks just for women to motivate more women to start up and invest, she says: "I believe that women should network more and that a women's network can be a good framework to talk openly about certain topics in a closed group. For this purpose, we have the Female Founders Office Hours<\/a> "We founded a network where we offer support to female teams on topics such as financing, startup programs, and building startups. However, the network must be gender-neutral, and networking with successful founders and investors\u2014who are still often male today\u2014is precisely what women need to build knowledge and gain access to customers or investors."<\/em> (Photo: Amanda-Stella Birkenholz)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Business<\/a>
Businettes, the incubator for early-stage female founders:<\/strong> Claire Siegert and Victoria Arnhold are the founders of Businettes, a community platform for (aspiring) female founders. With Businettes, they aim to help close the gap between female and male founders in the European startup ecosystem. "By closing the female founder gap, we see a great opportunity to empower more women to make bold career decisions, take to the stage, and dare to become more than the hierarchies in our current society sometimes offer them. We firmly believe in making a positive impact on female empowerment."<\/em>, the two Interview with female founders<\/a> The platform includes a digital, solution-oriented program specifically tailored to the needs of aspiring female founders. In addition to the actual business program and a personal development module, the two founders also place great value on direct exchange within their female founder community (Photo: Businettes)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Svenja<\/a>
Svenja Lassen, founder of Female Investors Network: <\/strong>Svenja Lassen, head of the Munich office of the Austrian startup investor network Gateway Ventures (formerly Primecrowd), also launched the Female Investors Network (FIN) in 2020. FIN is intended to be an open contact point for women interested in investing who want to expand their knowledge, exchange ideas, and learn from each other. Here, active business angels who have already invested meet with women who are approaching this topic for the first time and who want to become investors in the future. The common goal of all participants is to increase the overall proportion of women in the startup ecosystem\u2014both among female investors and female founders. In the interview<\/a> We wanted to know from Svenja Lassen why the startup scene needs a network like FIN: "Because before, there was no network of this kind where like-minded people could meet on equal terms and exchange ideas openly. While there are female investor groups, they mostly consist of women who already have investment experience. My goal is to raise awareness about startup investing in general, to get more women excited about this topic, and to lower the barriers to entry. And for that, you need a contact point where every question is welcome and people encourage each other. Or as one of our investors once said: "Starting startup investing is like learning a new language. You need a little vocabulary and then an environment where you feel comfortable talking to each other." That's exactly what we offer."<\/em> (Photo: Stefanie Kresse)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Inga<\/a>
Inga Grieger from BMW i Ventures:<\/strong> BMW i Ventures is the BMW Group's corporate venture capital fund, which invests money and resources in startups in all growth phases, with a strong focus on Series A and B investments. The focus is on the areas of transportation, manufacturing, supply chain, and sustainability. Inga Grieger works as a Business Development Manager at BMW i Ventures, focusing on collaboration between the BMW i Ventures portfolio companies and the BMW Group. In the interview<\/a> We wanted to know from her, among other things, what makes a good pitch for her: "Definitely an authentic presence. Over time, you quickly recognize whether someone is just playing a role. In my opinion, it's crucial for the success of founders that they remain authentic and don't pretend. In addition, there needs to be a founding team that is passionate about the idea and can convey this passion. Last but not least, we look at whether the business idea is customer-centric and can drive sustainable transformation in the automotive industry."<\/em> (Photo: BMW i Ventures)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
One Mission: <\/strong>The Munich-based initiative One Mission has set itself the task of bringing more diversity to Munich startups. At the same time, the network, founded by the Werk1 startup center, aims to make it easier for female founders to access investor capital. When asked how startups benefit from diverse teams, Maike Wursthorn, co-founder of One Mission, explains: in the interview<\/a> with Munich Startup: "Diverse teams are more innovative and efficient thanks to different experiences, perspectives, and opinions. If you embrace diversity from the start and, for example, develop a product with a diverse team, you automatically appeal to a larger customer base\u2014which increases your chances of success. At the same time, the company's image is positively strengthened and tolerance is promoted in society."<\/em> (Photo: One Mission)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
