Before the Market Opens: The AI & Finance Breakfast
Your deal team is already using AI. The question is: are you using it well?
AI is changing how deals get done: from screening opportunities and mapping markets to sourcing and research. But beyond the buzzwords, what does that actually look like in your day-to-day work?
Female x Finance and Gain are bringing together 40 women in finance for an intimate breakfast in London to find out.
What to expect
☕ Breakfast & networking
Start your morning with coffee, breakfast and conversations with women working across the London finance ecosystem.
💻 See AI in action — live
No slides about what AI could do Maxime Jacquot, Head of Sales Europe at Gain, will take you through real workflows live on screen — from M&A screening and deal sourcing to market mapping.
🎤 An honest career conversation
Hear from professionals who have built careers across finance, tech and growth about how their roles have evolved, what skills are becoming more valuable, and what moving from traditional finance into an operator role can actually look like.
💬 Small-group conversations
We'll finish with intimate conversations with the speakers, giving you the chance to ask the questions you actually want answered.
