Junieper Female Founders

Our networking event specifically for women

Come along for a relaxed chat and networking session at Female Founders – and benefit from sharing knowledge with other female founders.

The aim of the networking event is to connect women interested in starting a business with existing female founders – and, crucially, to highlight female role models. Role models that women interested in starting a business can look up to.

Our female speakers

Look forward to hearing from two inspiring female founders who will be sharing their personal experiences and insights with you:

Friederike Vondran (Work Evolution)
Empowering teams. Transforming work. Change requires strong teams: creating clarity and fostering collaboration through team development, workshops and retreats.

Junieper - strength, mental resilience and a zest for life!

Through our network, we aim to specifically reach out to women and encourage them to start their own businesses. But Junieper can do even more. 

Junieper – derived from Juniperus, the botanical name for juniper – symbolises strength, a zest for life and resilience. And it is precisely these qualities that our network stands for: we are independent, strong women who support one another with all our strength and zest for life, and who work together to advance our start-up projects. We want to connect women and help them achieve great things together. We want to inspire and motivate one another to rethink ideas. And we want to build trusting relationships and continually expand our network.

Together with the GRÜNDUNGSZEIT project from HSD, we organise networking events to which we regularly invite interesting female speakers who share exciting insights and their own expertise with our network members. Through regular monthly meetings, we maintain close contact with one another and can empower each other to take the step towards self-employment.
