EVENTS COMING UP…

NO FILTER: RESILIENCE SKILLS FOR FEMALE FOUNDERS

WEDNESDAY 29TH APRIL 2026, 1PM-2PM (UK TIME)

Female Founders continue to be an under-represented community, working harder than their male counterparts when it comes to fundraising and many other aspects of starting and growing a business.

Come along if you’re up for a ‘No Filter’ interactive session – sharing the truth of the struggles and challenges and speaking openly and honestly about experiences in a confidential space.

Participants will leave with a Resilience Toolkit and access to a powerhouse of mentors and like-minded female founders, as well as ongoing mentoring support if required by one of our three female partners who are leading the session; Pippa Bazalgette, Hanim Dogan and Sharon O’Connor.
