This year marks the fifth edition of the Female StartAperitivo startup competition. The grand finale will take place in Berlin on 27 June, preceded by ten semi-finals in ten federal states. In Hamburg, the time will come on 5 June at the Kent Club. In this article, we present the ten startups that have qualified for the pitch.
One focus topic: health
To participate in Female StartAperitivo, at least one woman must be part of the founding team. Apparently, female founders are particularly committed to medical topics, as five startups from the Hamburg semi-final are in this field:
