What we did
We ran a panel discussion for 50 brilliant female awardees of the Women in Innovation Award.
The goal of the session was to help these female founders understand VC, if it was a good fit for them and what other alternatives exist at different stages of their funding journey.
What they said
"Esme did a brilliant job during a panel discussion aimed at offering insights into alternative funding routes to our Women in Innovation cohort. Her breadth of knowledge, authenticity, care and passion for the subject offered a truly valuable experience for the women attendees. We totally recommend her and Considered Capital"
