Testimonials
The format of the Female Founder Exchange Night creates an impressive safe space for the participants. It helps to talk very openly about topics that really concern us as female founders. I have made new contacts every time and had the valuable opportunity to pitch my idea. As a result, I received overwhelming feedback and numerous offers of support. Thank you!"
