On October 31, 2026, the Female Finance Summit in Munich will bring together women who want to take control of their financial future. Initiated by UMushroom and in collaboration with femella, Women In Business e.V., Young Founders Network, SheLeads, and us at Gründungsmagnet, the event will feature an afternoon filled with knowledge, networking, and practical tools. Whether you’re still in school, just starting your career, or building your own startup: Your worth. Your money. Your future.

Let’s talk money!

Are you ready to confidently manage your finances, strengthen your money mindset, and build a solid financial foundation? You can look forward to talks, workshops, panel discussions, and personal reflection on topics such as investing, wealth building, self-employment, family planning, and money mindset.

From Money Mindset to Your Own Portfolio

How does an ETF actually work? How do I build a portfolio? How much risk is right for me? And how do I confidently negotiate my salary or terms in my own business?

The Female Finance Summit isn’t about dry financial theory—it’s about putting knowledge directly into practice.

Luba Schoenig from UMushroom kicks things off with the ABCs of investing: compound interest, diversification, ETFs, and the question of what money actually has to do with our self-worth. After all, financial self-determination doesn’t just begin with your first investment—it also starts with your own money mindset.

Next, we’ll dive right into your own portfolio: In the “Portfolio Basics” workshop, Denise Koch from Invesco will show how to turn ETFs and savings plans into your first personal investment roadmap. Those who want to dive deeper will join Dr. Stephanie Lang from BlackRock to explore stocks, funds, diversification, and risk management—and how to make more informed investment decisions.

And because financial independence isn’t determined solely by your investment portfolio, the event also covers negotiation: Caroline Bartlau from Time to Negotiate provides strategies for approaching salary and business negotiations with greater clarity, self-confidence, and impact.

Money, Choices & Independence

But money means more than just returns.

How do financial decisions change when you become self-employed or start a family? How do care work, gender roles, and beliefs about money influence our financial future? And how can we create more financial fairness in relationships?

Dr. Stephanie Lang from BlackRock, Franziska Klebon from Clouds on Mars, and Natascha Fürst from Female Founders will discuss these topics in the panel “Finances, Family, Career: Success on Your Own Terms.”

This isn’t just about success stories—it’s about real experiences, decisions, and challenges, and about how we can shape our careers, families, and finances on our own terms.

Know your worth!

Ultimately, inspiration should lead to one thing above all else: action.

With the personalized KnowYourWorth checklist, each participant will take away concrete next steps for the next 7 days, 3 months, and 12 months.

After all, financial literacy doesn’t mean having to know everything about money. It means being able to make the right decisions for your own future.
