Project Female Founder

Yes, participation is completely free of charge for all female founders.

No, founders do not need to be UBS clients. In fact, we encourage participation from female founders and prospects who may become clients in the future.

Up to 100 female founders will be selected to participate.

The course is designed for individuals who have raised up to 1 million USD (including personal funds) and are preparing to secure their first institutional investment, such as Series A funding.

Yes, we have partnered with VC firms, and at the end of the course, each participant will have the opportunity to pitch their business to investors.

No, there is no minimum revenue requirement to join the program.

While we cannot provide specific percentages or amounts, many founders find the program invaluable in enhancing their ability to raise capital. The connections and support provided, including access to UBS’s investor network, often play a significant role in their fundraising success.

Yes, UBS provides support and investor introductions for founders at the Seed stage. While the program primarily focuses on Series A, we recognize the importance of early-stage funding and offer resources and connections to assist Seed-stage companies as well.

The Project Female Founder program is sector-agnostic. While UBS’s direct funding initiatives, such as the Female Founder Award, are primarily geared towards fintech startups, we have a strong track record of supporting deep tech and physical goods companies. For instance, companies like IAMBIC have benefited from our network and resources, showcasing our commitment to diverse sectors.

Participants are expected to commit approximately 1.5 hours per week over 8 weeks. There are no specific deliverables required for participation.
