Founding a company is hard. Founding one as a woman in deep-tech? A whole different game. Anyone who's started a company knows the hurdles. For women, a few extra ones tend to come with it, like largely male-dominated networks and a lack of role models. That's exactly why we want to offer solutions to support women on their way up. One of these initiatives is the Women Startup Award by Women Startup by UnternehmerTUM. 🏆 And here, you don't have to win the award to win, because every finalist gets hands-on training, coaching from our Women Startup Experts, mentorship from our Women Startup Angels, and the chance to pitch in front of investors and the Munich startup community. 💫 Last year, Jade Robinson, Co-Founder & COO of Linq Photonics – a deep-tech startup making quantum computing scalable – won the award. How does she look back on it today? 💬 "Receiving the Women Startup Award was a huge confidence boost, both personally and at a critical stage of our journey. Building a deep-tech startup involves many challenges, and the recognition reinforced that we're solving an exciting problem, and that women have a place in deep-tech." 👉 Want to experience something similar?
