Last year’s edition of the FEM-START Up Awards was a hit! The first edition was held in Hotel Casa in Amsterdam where we had a packed day with workshops by Barbara Rogoski on pitching and Tanya Pineault of PayPal on how to grow your business with PayPal.
A total of 9 female-led start-ups participated in our FEM-START Up Awards, ranging from plastic-free skincare to data-driven consultancy focused on D&I and Gender Equity. Our judges consisted of Eva de Mol of CapitalT, Joachim Goyvaert, CEO PayPal Benelux and Ireland, Katalin Tatar from ABN Amro and Marian Spier, founder of FEM–START.
