Cocoon Capital is proud to host the 8th edition of Female Founder Mentoring Hours (FFMH), our flagship initiative to champion women entrepreneurs across Southeast Asia. In partnership with Launchpad, this edition will take place in person on Thursday, 11 September 2025, with two available sessions: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (SGT).
Despite growing momentum, startups with all-women founding teams in Southeast Asia raised just 2.1% of total deal value in 2024 — according to DealStreetAsia’s Women Founders in SE Asia: 2024 Funding Review. FFMH aims to help close that gap by offering early-stage women-led B2B tech startups access to honest feedback, investor perspectives, and actionable guidance.
This edition’s theme is Pitching and Fundraising, tailored for pre-seed to Series A B2B tech startups. Each selected founder will meet up to three VC mentors for 1:1 sessions, scheduled via Calendly.
Whether you’re preparing to raise or refining your investor narrative, FFMH is a safe space to stress-test your pitch, gain insights from experienced investors, and build meaningful connections.
Applications are now open! If you’re a female founder leading a B2B tech startup in Southeast Asia, sign up to apply by 20 Aug 2025.
