Agenda

🕑: 12:30 PM - 01:00 PM

One year on... female-led startups share their journeys

Host: Emma Lindsay

Info: If you're a startup who's survived the first year, well done ? Let's celebrate your success! But the cruel fact is that by year three only half the startups you've met on your journey will still be in the room. In this relaxed roundtable chat, hosted by Emma Lindsay, we invite you to share what you've learned; tell us what you wish you'd known; what worked for you and what didn't. Importantly, let's explore how we can help each other survive and thrive beyond the 12-month honeymoon period, so we're ALL still standing in three years' time! Emma left the corporate world to found not one, but two small businesses. Her consultancy, The Impact Shift, works with founders to grow their organisations while leaving a positive impact on the world. Her second startup, Ninety-one Jewellery takes just that approach! www.ninetyonejewellery.co.uk/ www.theimpactshift.com/

Growing a business without burnout: tapping into your inner self

Host: Claire Turner

Info: Claire Turner works with business owners who look supremely together on the outside but inside are fighting self-doubt and imposter syndrome, which leaves them clinging to the edge of their own success. If that sounds like you, join us for a taster workshop using the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT (also known as 'tapping'). It's a science-based self-care method of working with the nervous system which Claire uses to help bring about identity recalibration. In other words, she helps dissolve the patterns that make our success feel conditional — so what you've built can keep working without constant self-management.

Claire is the founder of Abundance Alchemy, an ongoing container for people whose success has grown faster than their nervous system, and who are ready for it to finally feel real, grounded, and sustainable.

What do investors want? And do women really find it harder to raise cash?

Host: Charlotte Scott

Info: The world of funding and investment can be bewildering to a new founder. And, if you're a woman, the chances of navigating it successfully are pretty slim. Successful pitches for investment by all-female-led teams are consistently in the low single digits, compared to an 80% success rate among men. And yet, female-led businesses are statistically better at generating returns for those investors. Something's wrong somewhere... In this mini-masterclass in successful fund raising, Charlotte Scott will share what she learned working inside venture capital and with angel networks, so you can turn her experience to your advantage. Charlotte founded Roast My Pitch to help early-stage tech and consumer founders find business clarity and fundraise with confidence. She particularly enjoys working with female founders and getting them over the finish line! https://roastmypitch.io/
