💡 You have a great idea. You are building something real. But you feel stuck.
You do not know how to get in front of investors. You are not sure how to take the next step. And the startup world can feel like it was not built for you.
That is exactly why Women Startup Competition exists.
🌍 For more than 10 years, WSC has been Europe's leading startup competition for female founders and gender-diverse teams. We have supported 620+ startups across 35+ countries, and we have one goal: to make sure your startup gets the visibility, mentorship, and investor access it deserves.
When you apply, here is what you get:
🚀 Bootcamp and pitch preparation sessions so you walk into every room ready 🎯 Rapid mentoring from investors, lawyers, founders, and industry experts who give you direct, actionable feedback 🏆 A live semifinal in one of 10+ European cities, with real judges and real stakes 📣 International media visibility and networking with the global startup ecosystem 💰 €50,000+ in prizes and bridge investment opportunities 🤝 Direct connections to international investors actively looking for startups like yours
This is not a competition where only finalists benefit. Every selected team gets access to training, mentoring, and the WSC community.
👉 Who can apply: Female-founded or gender-diverse teams with at least 50% women ownership, at any stage, from anywhere in the world. All events are held in English.
The entry fee is €45. Everything you receive in return is worth multiples of that.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to step forward, this is it. ✨
