Pre-registration for the Women Startup Competition has started. The contest gives female entrepreneurs and their teams a chance to improve pitching skills and meet potential investors.

This year a total of 7 regional Women Startup Competition pre-final events took place across Europe. The final demo day was held in London on 1 July, where finalists had the opportunity to participate in a 5-day training session and pitch their ideas to potential investors.

Pre-registration is now open for the 2018 edition. Applicants must have at least an equal gender diversity representation (50-50) within the entrepreneurial team or a majority of team members must be women (50% or more).

There are no thematic requirements: all “idea owners”, entrepreneurs and startups may apply, as long as they believe their ideas might appeal to their target audience and attract investors.
