About the Grand Finale:

Best Startup Pitch

The Next Women 100

The Next Women is an international organization for women entrepreneurs with a focus on financing. 

The Grand Final is the continuation of a series of pitch events in 2012 in the Netherlands, where female startups are linked to experts and investors. 

During the Grand Final the best female starters of the Pitch events compete for the best starters pitch by presenting to a panel of investors large informal investors, venture capital investors and banks.

During the Grand Final in 2013, those female startups will be linked to each other as well to female entrepreneurial role models from the list of The Next Women 100.

During the Grande Finale, we also launch the list of the The Next Women 100  and we organize the Network Lunch for 50 female startups, Top 100 Female Business Heroes and 150 other entrepreneurs, experts and investors. 

During the Grand Finale, starters learn from role models and get contacts to grow, while the role models learn about investing in start-ups; eventually this leads to more female investors and successful female starters.

In this manner we are creating an inclusive eco-system of female starters, role models, experts and investors. A more inclusive eco-system has positive effects on the growth of women entrepreneurship and for the economy as a whole.
