Even Founders

Changing the narrative about women founders requires from us to also change what we focus on. We choose to focus on how much money women DO raise!

Last week Angela Huser (DE / EN) joined us during our co-working day in collaboration with BLOXHUB where we worked with founders on understanding what are some of the things that hold founders back, and what are the things that push us forward. Angela gave us great techniques on how to deal with setbacks and how to reframe the stories we tell ourselves. Thank you all for joining ☺️

First cohort 26 women  Second cohort 28 women  Third cohort 37 women  Fourth cohort 75 women!!! 🥳 We've always known that women belong and want to be in the startup world. But seeing all these (75!) women who want to build something of their own join our community still feels unreal. Together we will create the next generation of Nordic entrepreneurs - a much more diverse one that resembles the world they build products for!

Almost 4 billion women face health issues that are unique to their gender. 🤯 Yep, you read that right. We think that needs to change - and so do a lot of you, as shown by the turnout at our Women x Health x Tech event last week! We absolutely loved getting to meet so many of you and having amazing conversations about health, women, and innovation. Massive thanks to our partners in the event: DAYA, SexTech Nordics, Femtech Studios, and Torsten Kolind.

We love this campaign currently happening in London! Men campaigning for enhanced paternity leave have attached lifesize model babies in slings to bronze statues of men across central London and called on the government to improve the UK’s parental leave options, which are ranked the least generous in Europe for fathers. When designing policies to support women entrepreneurs and women at work, we should also look at policies for men. Increasing paternity leave can create a great change in the labour market and give dads a very welcomed time with their kids. Photos by Dadshift.

Female founders - Who cares?! 🤔 Turns out, quite a lot of you do! Last week we had a good discussion at TechBBQ about female founders and how the rest of the ecosystem can support them better. We touched on some difficult questions, and hopefully gave you a few ideas about how you can better support women. P.S. We left around 50 stickers around the room, and they were all gone by the end of the session. Would love to see where they ended up! Send us your best sticker picture! 🤩 Photos by ©️FrancescoMartello -> francescomartello.com

There’s no market. Women don’t start VC-backable companies. There’s no role-models… the reasons go on. But guess what - Rethink Impact, LP is proving us all wrong. Raising $250M to invest in female-led companies. Well done! 👏 https://lnkd.in/gKfyM-8T

We’re sooo looking forward to this! 🚀 There are just a few spots left if you want to join us. https://lnkd.in/dtEzYMWu
