Julie Lepique

Julie Lepique is a founder, entrepreneur, Business Creator and speaker. From an idea in a market that was long taboo, she built a profitable eight-figure company with a community of more than two million people, without investors. In 2026 she was named Female Founder of the Year at the German Startup Awards. Forbes lists her among its 30 Under 30, Capital among its Top 40 under 40. Her experience as CEO of femtasy shapes her perspective on entrepreneurship and leadership. Julie talks about growth, leadership and the decisions that shape companies and the people behind them. She combines the perspective of an operational CEO with personal insights into ambition, performance and dealing with growing responsibility. Again and again, she comes back to one question: how can you succeed without losing yourself along the way? With Foundershain, Julie has also created a community for people who are founding a company and looking for honest exchange and mutual support. On LinkedIn, she works with brands such as Personio, Finom and Adobe. With her content and on stages such as OMR, she reaches people who want to take on responsibility, build companies and shape their own path.
