The Female Founders Experience is more than a summit. It's a curated, application-only, women-only gathering of the founders, investors and leaders moving European tech forward — capped intentionally at 120 people so the room stays the room. Built for trust. Designed for outcomes.
loved the experience - it was inspiring, empowering and made me reflect. Bringing together all the women for a closer and more authentic networking opportunity was greatly appreciated.
I learned a lot and I want to continue to invest even more in supporting other women.”

Through meaningful design systems.
Who are you?

FOR FEMALE FOUNDERS
Being a startup founder is exhilarating, and overwhelming, and lonely at times. Every fundraising conversation starting with a silent question mark. At FFX, you join an exclusive group of 40 carefully selected female founders, from pre-seed to pre-exit - your space to share wins, struggles and lessons learned, openly and without judgment. Support, not competition. Peers, not performance.
FOR FEMALE INVESTORS
Early-stage investing is all about people. The strongest female founders in Europe are moving quietly, building fast and closing rounds before they ever hit your inbox. FFX is where you meet them first - alongside a trusted circle of female business angels, LPs and VC representatives, each with at least two active investments. New opportunities for co-investment. A peer group of investors you can actually trust.
FOR FEMALE LEADERS
Leading in tech, politics or the corporate world as a woman comes with unique challenges. At FFX, you'll meet female leaders shaping the ecosystem - in politics, corporates and other sectors driving change, and you'll be in the room with the founders raising and the investors deploying as a peer to all of them. Meaningful peer connections. Sharpened influence. The next level, accelerated.

QUALITY over QUANTITY

120 people. Every profile selected. The room is small on purpose — because the depth of every conversation depends on the strength of every person in it.Principle

OUTPUT over INPUT.

We don't measure FFX in panels delivered or business cards exchanged. We measure it in conversations, discussions and learnings that start in the room but last long after.

FFX is Europe's most curated gathering for women in business.
Two days, application-only, women-only, capped at 120 , because the room is the product. Every conversation is built for real exchange, not performance. You'll join 40 carefully selected female founders , a circle of female investors, and senior leaders shaping the ecosystem from politics, corporates and beyond.
No endless pitches. No empty networking.
Just trusted, authentic, lasting connections.

FAQ

Common
questions

What if I’m unable to attend on the day?

Tickets are non-refundable. You may, however, transfer your ticket to another person — just let our team know so we can update the registration details.

How can I network with other participants?

All registered guests will receive access to our matchmaking tool, Conversation Starter, where you can book 1:1 meetings with other attendees, partners, and investors. Of course, there will also be plenty of in-person networking during breaks.

What’s included in the event programme?

Each FFX edition offers a full day of roundtables, input talks, community sessions, and curated deep-dives based on whether you’re a founder, leader, or investor. You’ll receive the full agenda ahead of time.

How will I know when and where everything takes place?

You’ll receive calendar invites, email communication, and access to the participant page with all logistics, timing, and updates. If anything changes, we’ll notify you right away.

Can I get an invoice for my ticket?

You can download your receipt directly from Luma by following these instructions as well:
https://help.luma.com/p/getting-receipts-for-your-tickets

Why is full-day attendance required and what happens if I can’t attend the whole day?

We highly encourage you to join the full programme. FFX  is designed for quality over quantity, prioritising authentic connection, joy over FOMO, and creating an actual community experience rather than a drop-in event. To get the most out of the experience, we recommend setting up an OOO email and focusing on the people in the room. If you need to leave early or arrive late, please make sure to let us know in advance.
