Turn Connections Into Customers | FoundHER & FundHER Lunch: Los Angeles
Great connections are valuable. But what happens after the introduction?
You've met people, shared what you're building, followed up on opportunities, and worked hard to get your business in front of the right customers.
But are those efforts consistently turning into revenue?
For many founders, sales can feel unpredictable. One month business is booming, the next you're wondering where your next customer will come from.
What if you could create a more reliable way to attract customers, build relationships, and generate revenue?
This March, we're bringing women founders and funders together for meaningful connections, real business conversations, and a special educational segment focused on one of the most important parts of building a successful business: turning opportunities into paying customers.
Whether you're bootstrapping, building an established business, or preparing to scale, this conversation is about creating more consistency, confidence, and opportunity in how your business grows.
And you don't have to figure it all out alone.
THIS MONTH'S FOUNDER CONVERSATION
Build a Revenue Engine That Works
Having a great product or service is only part of building a successful business.
You also need a way to consistently reach the right people, earn their trust, turn interest into sales, and keep customers coming back.
During our educational segment, we'll explore:
Finding your ideal customers: How to identify the people most likely to need, value, and purchase what you offer.
Turning interest into sales: Understanding the steps that move someone from a first conversation to becoming a paying customer.
Making referrals work for you: Building relationships that lead to meaningful introductions and qualified business opportunities.
Following up without feeling pushy: How to stay connected, build trust, and move conversations forward naturally.
Knowing what's actually working: Identifying which sales and marketing activities generate revenue so you can spend more time on what produces results.
This isn't about complicated sales systems or spending thousands of dollars on marketing.
It's about understanding what works for your business and creating a more intentional, repeatable approach to generating revenue.
Come prepared to think about how you're finding customers today, what's working, and where opportunities may be slipping through the cracks.
MORE THAN A LUNCH. REAL RELATIONSHIPS.
At FoundHER & FundHER, we believe some of the most valuable business opportunities begin with a conversation.
The woman sitting across from you might become your next customer, introduce you to someone who needs what you offer, share an experience that helps you avoid a costly mistake, or open a door you didn't even know existed.
But meaningful connections don't happen by accident.
That's why our lunches are intentionally designed to bring together women who want to get to know one another, understand what each other is building, and find ways to help.
This isn't another networking event where you exchange business cards and hope something happens.
It's a room where real conversations lead to real relationships, introductions, referrals, and opportunities.
WHO IS IN THE ROOM
A thoughtfully curated gathering of women founders, entrepreneurs, and funders who believe in the power of meaningful relationships.
Some are launching businesses. Others are building revenue, expanding into new markets, growing teams, or preparing for investment.
Everyone brings something valuable to the table, whether it's experience, expertise, connections, resources, or a fresh perspective.
No awkward networking. No sitting silently through endless presentations.
Just genuine conversations, valuable education, and women who understand the entrepreneurial journey and want to see one another succeed.
WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
Practical ideas for attracting the right customers and generating more consistent revenue
A better understanding of how to turn conversations and introductions into business opportunities
Strategies for improving sales follow-up and building referral relationships
Meaningful connections with women founders and funders
Opportunities for introductions, partnerships, and collaboration
Fresh perspectives and resources to help you move your business forward
A reminder that you don't have to build your business alone
GOOD TO KNOW
Your $20 ticket reserves your seat at the table. Lunch is ordered and paid for separately at the venue.
Seating is intentionally limited to create a welcoming atmosphere and meaningful conversations.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
We use name badges, and you'll actually get to know the women around you.
Founders at every stage are welcome, from the earliest idea to established and growing businesses.
A NOTE FROM LISA
One thing I've learned from working with entrepreneurs is that having a great idea, product, or service doesn't automatically mean customers will find you.
Building a business means learning how to create opportunities, develop relationships, and turn those relationships into something meaningful.
And sometimes the difference between struggling to grow and finding real momentum is simply understanding what needs to happen next.
That's why I'm excited about our March conversation.
We're continuing our 2027 Founder Growth Series by exploring how to build a more consistent approach to generating revenue, while creating the kinds of relationships that can open doors for one another.
Because the right knowledge can help you grow your business, and the right relationships can help you get there faster.
I can't wait to welcome you to the table!
Warmly,
Lisa McCarthy
Founder, FoundHER & FundHER
