5 women & networks from the startup scene you should know

5 investors, networks, and incubator programs that women in the (Munich) startup scene should know about.

Amanda-Stella Birkenholz
Amanda-Stella Birkenholz from UVC Partners: 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 StartupWhen 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 "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—who are still often male today—is precisely what women need to build knowledge and gain access to customers or investors."
