Celebrating Grow F Alumni and Their Raises!

Investors you will meet

“When you are a startup, doing it alone is super difficult – you need support. I realized, as an entrepreneur, how important it is to connect to people – Grow F gave me the chance to.”

Iris Skrami | Co-Founder Renoon | Batch #5

“I loved that the Grow F program is focused on fundraising for female-led ventures. The hands-on knowledge and support tremendously helped us in our fundraising process. The same week we had the term sheet negotiation workshop, we also received a term sheet from our investors. We could immediately apply what we have learnt and knew exactly which points we should be negotiating.“

Julianne Sloane | Co-Founder Nossa Data | Batch #4
