Women startup founders networking breakfast
Are you looking to raise investment for your tech startup?
Women who are building tech startups are invited to join our London networking event for a morning of valuable insight and candid conversation.
Future Worlds is hosting another in a series of networking breakfasts for women who are building tech startups on 17 November.
Join us at Rathbones London for an exclusive networking breakfast before we enjoy an open investor/founder conversation.
Vivienne Hsu and Amanda Slavin will discuss the under-leveraged value of women's intelligence in business, and both will share insights from their own careers in and around startups.
Who is this event for?
This event is first and foremost for women who are leading tech startups. Women who are investors or work within the startup ecosystem are also welcome. Women launching startups from universities are particularly welcome.
Why should I attend?
