NLND Breakfast Club presents: Funding Women in DeepTech
Where are all the women in deeptech?!
Only 18.8% of startup founders in Germany are women—and in deep tech, women founders are even harder for investors to find. This Breakfast Club invites all the women founders and investors in deep tech, AI, biotech, quantum, space, and advanced materials to unlock new connections.
What to Expect
A panel discussion about funding strategies for high-risk, transformative technologies. Learn what it really takes to turn conviction into capital and explore the fundraising playbook they wish they’d had – and how you can use it now.
Investor: founder matchmaking. Apply for your chance to be selected for a 1:1 session with one of our VC partners.
Open networking for women founders, investors and enablers in deep tech, AI, biotech, quantum, space, and advanced materials.
