Where female founders connect - intentionally.

A facilitated networking breakfast series for women entrepreneurs who want meaningful exchange, not another talk.

Our upcoming events

The Female Founders Breakfast

The Female Founders Breakfast is a recurring networking series by Mentessa — created for busy female entrepreneurs who value real conversation over polished presentations.

This is not a keynote event. There are no panels, pitch sessions, or information overload. Instead, Mentessa’s community-building experts facilitate a structured, time-efficient format designed to help you connect quickly and intentionally — with other women navigating entrepreneurship, career transitions, and the everyday reality of building something of their own.

What to expect:

  • A relaxed business breakfast atmosphere

  • Structured, facilitated networking tailored to female founders

  • Honest conversations about your plans, challenges, and next steps

Each session is intentionally focused and founder-friendly — because the right connections matter more than a crowded room.

About this initiative

Founded by TUM alumna Dr. Tina Ruseva, Mentessa is a Munich-based company dedicated to human connection in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world — through mentoring, matching, and community building.
