Data Equity Incubator - with Guest Speaker Sarah Aoki

What does it take to build a business from nothing, while juggling motherhood and the everyday realities of life? Sarah Aoki knows. An Edinburgh Napier alumna and Managing Director of Perfect Cleaning Solutions, Sarah grew her commercial cleaning company from the ground up to a team of more than 20, serving Edinburgh and beyond.

This session is part of the Data Equity Incubator - a programme supporting ethnic minority women to grow ideas into data-informed ventures. It's the first in-person gathering of the 2026 cohort, and it's open to any ethnic minority woman who wants to come along, even if you're not part of the programme.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Hear Sarah's honest, practical story of building a thriving business
• Meet the DataKirk and Bright Red Triangle teams
• Connect with others in the cohort
• Find out more about the Data Equity Incubator if you're considering joining
