A full house of 120 guests, and the buzzing energy of founders, investors, policy makers and senior executives in one room.
The event tackled the funding gap for female and diverse founders. Despite progress, the landscape remains discriminatory, and recent data underscores how persistent the gap is.
The programme
A fireside chat between Anne Ravanona (Global Invest Her) and Mathilde Bacholle (La French Tech London), followed by a panel with Hasna Kourda (Save Your Wardrobe), Debbie Wosskow OBE, Caroline English (British Business Bank), Emmanuelle Bury-Lucas (BNP Paribas UK) and Valerie Kenyon.
The conversation covered the new taskforce set up to boost private investment in women-led businesses, and what it would take for the UK to be the best place in the world to be a female founder.
