Femventures

A podcast on adventurous women in tech

Femventures is a podcast about some of the adventurous women currently shaping the future of the tech industry. You’ll hear from women who head innovation departments, founded their own business, or are running start-up accelerators. Hosts Lisa and Leonie put the spotlight on female experiences in a male-dominated field and invite you to listen to the stories of these trailblazers as they talk about overcoming challenges, taking risks, and embracing failure. This show is an opportunity for people looking for actionable advice and inspiring female role models working in tech. The podcast is presented by SAP, the world’s largest provider of enterprise application software.
