Our Mission
We exist to close the investment and network gap for women in business and equip female founders with the connections, knowledge, and inspiration they need to succeed. Everything we do centres around our three pillars: Connect, Educate, Inspire.
Connect
Find your people. Businettes UK helps you build genuine relationships with like-minded women founders and a network of investors and industry insiders. Our face-to-face events, workshops and online community are where your ideas (and friendships) are picking up speed.
Educate
Navigate the chaos. In the age of information overload - we listen to your needs and get industry leading specialists to run free, actionable workshops designed to answer your real questions. Our sessions cover the essentials, from raising investment to growth marketing, finance, AI and more. Worth noting, recordings are not shared - if you’re in the (virtual) room, you get the insights.
Inspire
Learn from those who’ve done it. Our Ask Me Anything sessions and in-person panels feature founders who are scaling fast, have exited, or are simply a few steps ahead. They’ll share their stories, answer your burning questions, and offer the advice they wish they’d had. we had inspiring speakers, such as Milda Mitkute (Vinted co-founder), Lydia Miller (ivee), Sarah Welsh (Hanx), Dominika Minarovic (Bybi).
