How it was in 2025
100+ female founders, investors, and business leaders
In October 2025, we brought together 100+ women in business from different industries across the world in the heart of Paris. Three panels, a documentary premiere, Female Founder Awards, and networking that turned into real partnerships and lasting connections.
About us
Affina Space is a French-based global AI-native venture ecosystem for female founders in fashion, tech, and consumer brands.
We've combined the best methodologies from leading incubators and business schools with a global network of investors, experts and partners — building a unique hybrid system that blends the power of AI with hands-on human support, expert guidance, and a community of ambitious women in business.
We've combined the best methodologies from leading incubators and business schools with a global network of investors, experts and partners — building a unique hybrid system that blends the power of AI with hands-on human support, expert guidance, and a community of ambitious women in business.
Today, less than 2% of global venture capital goes to female-founded startups — and fewer than 25% of high-growth businesses have a female founder. Our mission is to change that — by opening real opportunities for women across the world, and making launching and scaling a business truly affordable and accessible.

have questions?
This is an intimate gathering of brilliant women — founders, investors, creators, and visionaries — curated with intention. If you’re building something bold or backing what matters, you just might find yourself on the guest list.
Yes. While the event is invite-only, we welcome applications from women whose work aligns with our mission. If that sounds like you, simply fill out the request form — and our team will be in touch if it’s a match.
No, there’s no ticket to purchase. Attendance is complimentary for invited guests — but space is limited, and each seat is intentionally offered.
The entire day will be held in English — our guests are coming from across Europe (and beyond), and we want everyone to feel part of the conversation.
The event will be held at Le Village by CA Paris, a unique location and the center of the largest French startup ecosystem. Full access details will be shared with confirmed guests.
Of course. Think less awkward mingling, more meaningful moments. The day is designed for real connections — whether over panels, cocktails, or quiet corners of conversation.
Whatever makes you feel powerful, polished, and perfectly yourself. We suggest business casual with a personal twist — this is Paris, after all.
As much as we love a plus-one, every seat is curated. If you’d like to recommend someone for the guest list, feel free to share their details with us.
Yes — we’re capturing the magic. If you’d prefer to stay out of frame, just let us know when you arrive.
This gathering is brought to you by Affina Space— a global space for ambitious women redefining career, confidence, and well-being — with the support of partners who believe in women’s power to shape the future.
