About Fierce Foundry
At Fierce Foundry, we aim to reduce and equalize the global deficit in funding for women by nurturing promising FemTech ventures. We will co-found these startups and provide founders with initial seed investment, all resources for product and business development, support for later-stage fundraising, and everything needed in exit. By standing with FemTech founders from start to finish in a model that statistically performs better than traditional venture or accelerator programs, we will build companies that not only improve the lives of women, but create a new investment flywheel for female founders.
About FemHack
Join forces with incredible female talent in NYC to build a world-changing company:
Two ways we stand out from other hackathons:
-
All participants are female
-
We will be judging overall company idea (including business plan and market size potential), not just the prototype created during the hackathon
In 48 hours, our teams of female engineers, designers, marketers and business leads will:
- Build a working product prototype that a founder may continue building post-hackathon
- Create a Go-to-Market Strategy for their product
- Create an investor deck and business plan (including market research) for their product
- Register specifically based on your skills (dev, design, GTM, business) and you will be added to teams accordingly.
The top three teams will be awarded cash prizes based on:
- functionality and overall user experience of the prototype
- viability of business plan and Go-to-Market Strategy
