The Intimate Raise Lab Dinner

​You're invited for dinner on behalf of Barclays Innovation Banking. An evening for female founders to come together to connect, reflect, and share the hard-won insights that come from raising and leading on our own terms.

​This dinner is an intimate space for founders to exchange experiences, wisdom, and strategies — to speak openly about what we’ve learned, what we’d do differently, and what gives us confidence as we grow. It’s a celebration of the strength, clarity, and conviction that define women building companies today.

​Around the table, we’ll pass forward lessons in leadership, courage, and capital — not as theory, but as lived experience. Together, we’ll honour the collective power that comes from women supporting women.

​Hosted in partnership with Barclays Innovation Banking and Goodwin Procter, this dinner is part of our shared commitment to championing female founders — creating space for connection, reflection, and the exchange of insight that propels us all forward.
