On October 11th and 12th we joined the deGut – German Founders’ and Entrepreneurship Days trade fair, a comprehensive platform for aspiring entrepreneurs and for gaining insights on how to found a business. A big part of the program during this both days was dedicated to female entrepreneurship and empowerment.
This year we were very fortunate since we had the possibility to exhibit together with Grace Accelerator and avant now since we are the three selected incubators that are able to offer the Berlin Startup Scholarship Women. The scholarships are intended to support around 60 female founders. They will receive funding of up to 2,200 euros per month /per person for 9 months (at the Startup Incubator Berlin, duration differs) during the start-up phase.
Katrin Jahnke from SIB had the honor to receive the official grant notice personally from our Senator for Economic Affairs Franziska Giffey on stage and two of our female founders who just joined the program, Daria Trints with Periodly and Katharina Schultz-Ebert with Unite had the chance to pitch their startup idea with great support from the female founders community from the SIB and the whole ecosystem!
We are very proud and thankful that we are able to empower future female founders and non-binary persons with such a program and more to come.
