On Friday 8th March 2024, we’re opening our doors to creators, entrepreneurs and small business owners to discuss how women founders can grow, scale and sustain their business.


We’ll be joined by leading women entrepreneurs who will discuss the challenges faced by women founders, share their experience of smashing the glass ceiling, give advice to women entrepreneurs on how to grow their business, and answer questions from our audience.

Four women entrepreneurs will be given the opportunity to pitch to our panel for feedback and advice. We’ll also share a video of each pitch, the founder’s name and a link to their website across our social media.

One lucky winner will receive free hotdesking for six months at our space in the heart of Brixton Village, one year of free Virtual Office for their business, a free bottle of Market Row Rum.

ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION

Please note that there is a fairly steep flight of 20 steps to access Impact Brixton. Unfortunately our lift is currently broken! We apologise for any inconvenience and hope that our lift will be fixed soon.

Anyone who identifies as women or non-binary is welcome to apply to pitch. This of couse includes trans women, too! It’s International Women’s Day – and in our minds, that includes trans women and non-binary people because of the societal and systematic challenges for all of us that are not men.

If you have any specific access needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by sending an email to hosts@impactbrixton.com.

WHAT’S HAPPENING WHEN?

At 6:30pm, our doors will open. Take your seats and get comfortable.

At 7pm, our panel of experts will discuss the challenges facing women founders in 2024, sharing their experience, giving advice and answering questions.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and you can submit your questions in advance by emailing hosts@impactbrixton.com. It’s the best way to make sure your question gets answered!

At 8pm, four founders will each deliver a three-minute pitch to our panel and audience. The panel will give feedback and advice on next steps.

Whether you decide to pitch or watch from the audience, it’s a fantastic opportunity to develop your pitching skills. And there’ll be prizes!

At 8:30pm, you’re free to network with a complimentary glass of free rum punch (or a non-alcoholic alternative!), and our pop-up bar will be open. Compare notes on your pitches and spread the word about your business – it’s the perfect chance to build your network.

One lucky winner will receive free hotdesking for three months at our space in the heart of Brixton Village, one year of free Virtual Office for their business, a free bottle of Market Row Rum, and one hour of executive coaching with Gerald Vanderpuye (Founder of Impact Brixton).
