Female Founders Looking to Build Their Community
Each year we hosts the Female Founders Fair, showcasing 15 established female entrepreneurs who are dedicated to community building and brand celebration. All participating founders are committed to social and sustainable initiatives. The two-day event features presentations from
these conscious brands and offers attendees, including the press, an enjoyable experience complete with food, drinks, and music.
Supporting Female Founders, we recognize the critical need to support female entrepreneurs who remain significantly underrepresented in the Dutch startup and scale-up sectors. Shockingly, less than 1% of venture capital is allocated to startups founded by women (Financing for Startups by Women, n.d.). This disparity not only highlights a systemic issue but also underscores the importance of initiatives like ours. The Female Founders Fair is designed to empower these women by providing them with a platform to enhance their community presence and broaden their networks through connections with key stakeholders. Many female entrepreneurs are also seeking innovative ways to strengthen their brands and solidify their market positions.
Our fair offers a unique opportunity for female founders to promote their brands in both new online and traditional offline environments. This setting allows them to engage directly with their target audience, connect with fellow entrepreneurs, and gain exposure to press, influencers, and other
business professionals. By participating in the Female Founders Fair, these visionary women can showcase their businesses and take a significant step forward in breaking barriers and forging new paths in the industry.
