Women Founders Lunch in Los Angeles: All About the Money
All About the Money: Get Your Business Ready to Receive Funding
Most founders say they want money. Few are prepared to actually receive it. This lunch is where that changes.
THE MONEY SESSION
Celenia Tapia of Wells Fargo is teaching this month's money session: how to get your business ready for funding, what actually attracts investors, and when to have a bank as your friend.
Bring your notepad. This is the practical education most founders never get until an investor is already asking hard questions. If you are going to raise money, or you already are, this is the room to be in.
WHO IS IN THE ROOM
A curated table of women founders and early-stage investors. Founders present what they are building and what they are raising. Funders are there scouting real deal flow, not collecting business cards.
Everyone comes prepared to ask for something and offer something: an introduction, a referral, expertise, a resource. There is no speaker stage and silent audience here. This is a working room.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
Clarity on your funding readiness and your next steps
The money-session resource list from Wells Fargo
Feedback on your business from women who have been there
At least one introduction, referral, or resource you did not walk in with
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.
We use name badges, and you will actually know people's names by the time you leave.
Do I need to be raising money to attend? No. Founders at every stage are welcome, from idea to scaling.
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.
Come ready to talk about what you're building, what you need, and what you're prepared to receive.
Warmly,
Lisa McCarthy, Founder, FoundHER & FundHER
