Many things are possible as long as you set your heart and mind to achieve them. Determination, acceptance, and appreciation of the talent given to you, are key to achieving your dreams. Take one step after another, mind the stumbling blocks and remember the people who helped you on your way up. Do not let one failed venture get in your way to a lifetime of prosperity. Change the things you can and accept those you can’t.
Since joining Startupticker in 2015, I have been deeply immersed in the Swiss startup scene, providing insightful news and analysis on the latest developments. My passion for entrepreneurship and innovation is at the core of my work, driving me to delve deeper into the intricacies of the startup ecosystem. As an advocate for female entrepreneurship, I actively participate in initiatives aimed at boosting their presence and success.
Networking is a key aspect of my role, allowing me to connect with like-minded individuals and foster valuable relationships. I am always eager to engage in meaningful conversations about startups, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Let’s connect!
The prevalence of funding-related news in our reporting is not without reason; indeed, there is a constant influx of capital into startups – even in female-led ventures. This investment fuels these nascent businesses, enabling them to operate, innovate, and grow. However, not all companies are equally successful in attracting investors, which can lead to ceasing operations.
Funding female-led ventures has remained a topic of discussion in the startup scene as investment activities in this segment are slow. Nevertheless, recent successes prove that promising startups can raise significant capital.
The spotlight shines the brightest on the trailblazers – startup founders who dare to disrupt, create, and lead. In this edition, we focus on the achievements of female founders who are shaping industries while leaving a mark on the Swiss entrepreneurial scene.

There are currently several organisations across Switzerland that are dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurship in Switzerland. Given their mutual objective to boost female entrepreneurship through various offers, from training to investing in their ventures, these organisations ought to unite and jointly achieve a greater impact.
This month’s news featured 13 female-led startups, with each reporting a different achievement ranging from product launches, and participation in acceleration and business development programs to closing financing rounds, attracting experienced leaders and having Switzerland’s retail giants place their products on their shelves.
