PAWAO goes WVC:E Summit

In October 2024, PAWAO’s CEO Maren had the privilege of attending the Women’s Venture Capital Summit in Paris. The event provided a valuable platform for women in VC, fostering meaningful discussions and highlighting the importance of representation in this unfortunately still underrepresented field.

The summit agenda was filled with engaging topics, with highlights including private roundtable discussions on day zero and larger sessions on day one. Panels like “Deal or No Deal: Term Sheet Tactics” and “It’s More Than Money: How to Add Real Value” sparked insightful conversations among attendees.

Beyond the sessions, the summit was a wonderful opportunity to connect with inspiring colleagues from across the industry. A highlight was joining a dinner organized by a VC accelerator, which further strengthened connections and encouraged collaboration.

This event reaffirmed the importance of community and knowledge-sharing among women in VC. We are grateful to have participated and look forward to returning next year for another round of inspiration and exchange.
