About this Event

A free, application-only Galentine’s Day business event for first-time women founders starting from zero. Join an intimate fireside chat, guided discussion, and high-touch workshop focused on building a business without fluff, funding, or filters.


This Galentine’s Day, we’re hosting something different.

Galentine’s Lab is an intimate, women-only business night for early-stage founders who are building from nothing — no big teams, no massive funding, just vision, grit, and questions.

This is not a networking free-for-all.
This is not a panel you quietly sit through.
This is a guided, high-touch space designed for real conversation and practical direction.

What to expect:

  • Fireside chat led by Cautney Nelson (Founder of The Drunken Laboratory)
  • Mini workshop + guided discussion prompts
  • Small-group and 1:1 moments for personalized feedback
  • Icebreakers that don’t feel awkward
  • A supportive, honest room of women in the same phase

Why application-based?
We’re intentionally keeping this small (15 women) to protect the quality of conversation and ensure everyone gets individual attention. ❤︎

Dress Code:
Galentine’s chic — pink, red, or Valentine-inspired

Sponsored by:
Million Science (Nonprofit)



Who This Is For


✔ Women in the early stages of building a business
✔ Founders starting with limited resources
✔ Women looking for clarity, confidence, and direction
✔ Those craving community without the fluff

This is not for:

– Advanced scaling conversations
– Pitching or selling
