Women Founders Lunch in Los Angeles: Power of Your Network
THE RIGHT ROOM CHANGES WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
Los Angeles is full of networking events. This isn't one of them.
FoundHER & FundHER brings a carefully curated group of women founders, investors, and strategic partners together around one table for the conversations that actually move businesses forward.
Not hundreds of people. Not a room you have to work. A seat, a table, the right women, and enough time to actually know one another.
Because sometimes one conversation is all it takes. The right introduction becomes a customer. A referral opens a door. An investor becomes a trusted relationship long before a raise begins.
THIS MONTH: POWER OF YOUR NETWORK
On November 18, we're decoding how investors really think. Bring your notepad.
Fernanda Carapinha is bringing her Allocator Code: a psychological profile you can run on any investor before you pitch. It reveals their thesis and places them on a risk appetite scale, so you know exactly how to present yourself and your company to the person across the table.
If October was about the money, November is about the people who help you make it, keep it, and grow it.
WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
How to read any investor's risk appetite before you pitch
A sharper pitch, tuned to the person across the table
Real relationships with founders and funders, built around a table
At least one introduction, referral, or resource you didn't walk in with
THE CONNECTION EXCHANGE
Everyone at the table comes prepared to ask for something and offer something. An introduction. A referral. Expertise. A resource.
We don't measure a lunch by how many people you meet. We measure it by whether you met someone who matters.
FOR FOUNDERS
Come ready to share what you're building, where you're going, and what you need most right now: customers, capital, partnerships, advice, visibility. Ask for what you need, then open a door for someone else.
FOR INVESTORS
Meet women founders before the relationship becomes a transaction. Hear what they're building, understand what drives them, and discover companies outside traditional deal-flow channels.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your $20 ticket reserves your seat at the table. Lunch is ordered and paid for separately at the venue.
Seats are intentionally limited to protect the quality of conversation.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.

A NOTE FROM LISA
I'm not just the woman running the room. I'm a founder too. I've built businesses, raised money, and sat exactly where you're sitting, wondering if the right people were in the room.
I created this community for founders and funders: the woman building something that matters, who needs the right people and the right capital around her to grow it.
I can't wait to meet you!
