​EF x FoundHers: Impromptu Public Speaking Night for Founders

​Audacity Lab is back. It's FoundHers' recurring series helping women build confidence through practice, and this time we're partnering with Entrepreneurs First! 🚀

​Join us for an evening of impromptu public speaking for women founders and aspiring founders. Whether you're pitching investors, leading a team, interviewing, or just want to get more comfortable speaking off the cuff, this is a space to practise without pressure.

​You won't know your topic until you're standing up there. No slides, no script to lean on, just you, a room full of ambitious women, and two minutes to just... talk!

​What to expect

​🎤 Impromptu speaking challenges
Speakers will respond to a surprise prompt with around 2 minutes to speak.

​💬 Constructive feedback
After each speech, participants can share encouraging observations and practical suggestions to help each speaker improve.

​🤝 Meet fellow women founders
Connect with ambitious women building companies, exploring ideas, or looking to meet like-minded people in London's startup ecosystem.

​You don't need previous public speaking experience to join.

​If you'd rather observe than speak, you're more than welcome - we believe watching others is one of the best ways to learn.
