Female Founders Roundtable

We are hosting a series of Female Founders, in-person, intimate roundtables this year, where advocates & Female Founders will come together and discuss ideas including: increasing female representation within the technology industry, how to navigate profitable scaling and how to optimise networking.

Date & Times:

Session 1: Thursday 19th October 2023.

Location: Bonded Warehouse offices, Manchester.

Refreshments: a breakfast spread with tea, coffee, juices, pastries & sandwhiches.

This will be an intimate event, giving our attendees the opportunity to expand their networks and bounce ideas off of other Leaders in the tech community.

Hosted and organised by Principal Director, Charlotte Smith, we were joined by Manchester based Founders, from the likes of Venture Capital, Prolific North, Pet Trust UK, myonlinecoach, UBS, Wi-Q & YFM who shared their experiences, journeys and support during the session. It was very insightful to hear from about how we can better support more Female Founders and what more needs to be done to encourage the next generation of Female Founders.

Charlotte: "Like many others, I'm passionate about raising more support and opportunities for female founders and women in tech and whilst this may have been our first roundtable event, we will be hosting plenty more in the near future so please reach out if you want to be involved in our next meet up."

We recently ran a similar event in our London offices, organised by our Senior Engineering Consultant Grace Duffy, bringing together leaders of Engineering from the likes of The Financial Times, Unmind, Gousto, Vodafone, Fluro, Healios, CBRE & Cazoo. The discussions revolved around closing the gender gap in Tech Leadership and impactful ways to increase female representation within the industry. To hear more about this, check out Grace's blog post below!
