Svenja Lassen is Managing Director Germany at primeCrowd and helps start-ups find investors and vice versa. But she misses women on both sides, as unfortunately there are only 16% female founders and only 8% female investors. Therefore, she conducted a scientific study with Prof. Dr. Alexandra Wuttig from the IUBH to find out why so few women invest in start-ups so far. Based on the results that women mainly want to invest with a positive impact (68%) and in female founders (62%), she started the Female Investors Network (FIN) by primeCROWD in 2020, with which she offers an open contact point and exchange for women interested in finance, conveys knowledge about startup investment and gives role models visibility and offers female founders a stage to present their ideas. The goal of her network is to sustainably increase the proportion of women in the entire start-up scene. Svenja is convinced that different perspectives are needed and that diversity is a decisive factor for success.

About this podcast

For us, entrepreneurship is not necessarily about starting or running a business. It’s a state of mind, a principle of life and an approach to dealing with problems. This is fIVE, your university podcast on female entrepreneurship by the Munich University of Applied Sciences and the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship.

We strongly believe in diversity! It’s just so much more fun and exciting; diversity in food, in cultures, in places, ways of living, learning, creating and doing things. It’s this desire to explore – that we all have in us, to see new things, and yes, to be curious to look what’s behind the next corner.
