TECH BBQ - THE RISE OF WOMEN INVESTORS IN EUROPE

WOMEN INVESTORS ON THE RISE IN EUROPE

It is a well-known fact that there is a gender imbalance of investors in the startup community. Data shows that women VC & angel investors are only represented by approx. 1/10 early stage investors - and numbers are even lower for women GPs and LPs. However, in the last five years there has been a rise of women-led initiatives across Europe to increase the number of women angel- and VC investors. More women start their own investment funds – or are wanted as GPs in other funds as LPs demand more diversity. Across countries, women also gather forces, form networks, show role models and share learnings.

This event is no exception! Come and get inspired by a panel of truly fantastic women investor role models who are determined to promote more women in VC & angel investing.

This event is also a great opportunity to meet other international women VC & angel investors as we include a workshop session for dialogue and networking.
