Female Founders Network (FFN) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) UAE will co-host an exclusive Investment Pitch Night on 8 October 2025 at Amazon’s Dubai headquarters, aiming to connect women-led startups with investors and accelerate funding opportunities across the region.
The event will showcase up to six female founders seeking capital, offering them the chance to present live to a panel of key investors. Applications are free and open until 28 September, with shortlisted founders to be contacted directly by the FFN team.
Nicki Bedford, founder and CEO of Female Founders Network, said the initiative addresses one of the most persistent hurdles for female entrepreneurs: access to capital. The collaboration with AWS is positioned to raise visibility for promising founders and close the venture funding gap that continues to challenge women-led businesses.
Established as a high-impact community, Female Founders Network supports entrepreneurs through strategic resources, curated growth opportunities, and global connections. Its latest partnership with AWS underscores its mission to reshape the UAE’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and empower women to scale sustainable ventures.
