Funding That Fits: A Night for Female Founders, Funders & Investors
May 28, 2026, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Every business needs the right support to grow, but female-led businesses often face a narrower view of what that support looks like. Equity investment is a powerful route, but it’s not the only option. From crowdfunding to IP-backed lending, many businesses thrive on a mix of funding sources, yet these options often lack visibility, leaving founders unsure what’s available or right for their stage and sector.
This special Thursday Gathering, in partnership with Pathways Forward and Scottish EDGE, is designed to make connections that matter and focus on practical actions, not just another diagnosis of the problem.
Who is this for?
Founders looking for the right kind of finance at the right time.
Investors and funders who are serious about backing women-led businesses.
Anyone who wants to shift from talking about the issues to making progress.
What to expect? You’ll leave with a clear view of what different funders and supporters are looking for, along with actionable takeaways on the funding mix that could work for you.
Come ready to ask questions, make connections, and leave with a clearer sense of your next step.
