#18 | Female founders in deeptech: advantage or hurdle? - with ARTIC

donderdag, 10 april 2025
A podcast on turning innovation into impact—featuring startups from Dutch technical universities.

There's a huge gender gap in deep tech. Less than 25% of deep tech startups have a woman in their founding team, and just 11.4% of funding goes to deep tech startups with women founders. 💸

So when our podcast host Vera Boertien wanted to invite a female founder to join her on the Dutch 4TU Tech Startups podcast in Paris, she had quite the challenge... 😅

Luckily, Laure van der Sanden of ARTIC Technologies was happy to join to chat about the position of women in deep tech. Is it really a hurdle to be a female founder, as the numbers suggest, or does it also provide an opportunity? 🤔

You hear all about Laure's experience in episode #18 of the Dutch 4TU Tech Startups Podcast.
