Frequently asked questions

How does Female Founders source deal flow?

The firm generates its pipeline primarily through its own bootcamps — such as the recurring Summer Edition — where it selects and works with early-stage startups over a structured program. This is complemented by the annual FFX Vienna conference, which doubles as a live sourcing and networking event for corporate partners and investors. The model creates a proprietary entry point into Central European founders before they reach broader institutional processes.

Who leads day-to-day operations and investment decisions at Female Founders?

The firm does not publicly disclose a formal investment committee or named general partners. Public-facing contacts for partnerships are Vilyana and Taraneh, though their exact titles and decision-making authority are not stated on current materials. A direct inquiry is required to map control and sign-off.
