Female Founders Forum – Startup Stories from Female Founders
Why the Female Founders Forum?
The startup scene is still largely male-dominated. That’s why we want to make female founders in Münster and beyond more visible and give young women interested in entrepreneurship real role models.
Our goal: No woman should be discouraged from becoming self‑employed just because she doesn’t see herself reflected in the founder world.
