The START Female Mentorship Program is a new project aiming to support female students interested in founding or investing in startups.

Why?

Only 1.8% of European VC funding goes to startups led by women and just 16% of GPs in European VC firms are women. By focusing on the professional and personal development of female students, we aim to help bridge the gender gap in entrepreneurship. We provide the network, space and support to help these young women navigate an industry in which they are underrepresented. By matching students at the start of their career with experienced mentors, we're building strong, valuable and lasting relationships that can really make a difference.
