33% of founders are women. Yet, they receive only 2% of VC funding 📉 Closing this 98% gap is exactly what the first Sommet des Fondatrices in Paris set out to tackle! Organized by @willa_off , @wearesista_ , and France Digitale, this was a must-attend event for the ecosystem. At SCALE’HER, we were there to listen to inspiring women and learn from their vision and experience. Here are the key insights we’re taking away: 🎤 Marie-Pierre Rixain on the role of public decision-makers in supporting women’s entrepreneurship and reducing structural barriers 🎤 Caroline Maitrot-Feugeas with a powerful reminder that there is not just one way to build a business — and that creating a sustainable company does not necessarily mean raising millions. 🎤 Lucile Peytavin who highlighted the economic cost of virility in the workplace, Our biggest takeaway? Women entrepreneurs aren’t just role odels for women, they are role models for everyone 🌍 A huge well done to WILLA, SISTA, and France Digitale for this initiative! 👏 #SCALEHER #SommetDesFondatrices #WomenInTech #Entrepreneurship

🚀A look back at 𝗦𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗛 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱! Slush reminded us that Europe’s innovation strength lies not only in breakthrough technologies, but in who gets the opportunity to showcase them and the partnerships that can be built at these networking events. At the Women’s Power Pavilion, founders, investors, researchers, and policymakers came together to move beyond conversations toward coordination, commitment, and concrete actions fostering an ecosystem that thrives in inclusion. We discussed the gender investment gap, showcased women-led deep tech, and strengthened the bridges between research, capital, and market impact. A month later, the message is clear: 👉 Inclusion is not a side initiative, it is a competitiveness strategy for Europe. Check out the recap video below, capturing the energy we felt at SLUSH. The work continues, across ecosystems, initiatives, borders, and all the sectors involved to ensure Europe’s innovation future is truly inclusive. Special thanks to the other 7 initiatives involved in our booth: @herfund.project , EIT Community Supernovas, Women TechEU, WomenINvestEU, Bridging The Gender Gap In Investment, European Female Founders, Green Transition Forum #SLUSH2025 #WomenInInnovation #DeepTech #InclusiveInnovation #EUInnovation
