THE SPACE FOR FEMALE FOUNDERS & ENTREPRENEURS

Inspiring stories, practical business insights and more visibility for women building businesses on their own terms.

Inspiring women to start, build and grow their businesses

FEMPRENEUR® is a digital platform for female founders, entrepreneurs and business leaders. We share inspiring founder stories and practical business insights to help more women build businesses on their own terms.

FEMPRENEUR® was founded on a simple belief: We need to see more women building successful businesses.

Because visibility matters. Seeing other women turn their ideas into businesses can inspire us to believe in what is possible for ourselves.

At the heart of FEMPRENEUR® are the stories of women creating something of their own. Through our FEMPRENEUR® Stories, we introduce inspiring founders and entrepreneurs, their businesses and the journeys behind them.

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Maxi Knust, founder of FEMPRENEUR.

I launched FEMPRENEUR.de in 2015 as Germany’s first digital magazine for female founders, with the mission of making women in entrepreneurship more visible and inspiring more women to build businesses of their own. FEMPRENEUR.space later expanded this mission to an international audience.

With a background in business strategy, digital marketing and publishing, I have been an entrepreneur myself since 2015 and have worked with brands including Amazon, Deutsche Bank, BMW, eBay, EY, KLM and Disney+.

As a keynote speaker, my most exciting speech was my TEDx Talk on mindset and entrepreneurship has reached more than one million views.

More than a decade later, the mission behind FEMPRENEUR remains the same: making female entrepreneurship more visible – one story at a time.
