In Her Company - A dinner for women and non-binary founders and Leaders building ambitious businesses
Building a company is lonely work, and more so when the room rarely looks like you. So we're setting a table. A long table, a shared Filipino feast, wine poured for the table, and the kind of conversation that only happens when it's you and people who get it.
We're doing this at Hap Cafe x Events, a female-founded space built for exactly this kind of night. Finding somewhere that could host twenty of us properly, with food and drinks, for under $150 a head took some doing. Hap came in at $89. The food is genuinely good (I have them cater our IWD events), so we're eating well, drinking well, and putting money behind a founder worth backing.
