This special Thursday Gathering, in partnership with Scottish EDGE and supported by Pathways Forward, 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.
Join us for an evening of conversation, collaboration, and connection with innovators, founders, creatives, and curious minds from across the community.
Designed as a relaxed and welcoming space, this is an opportunity to exchange ideas, meet potential collaborators, and engage with new perspectives in an open and informal environment.
Whether you’re looking to grow your network, explore new opportunities, or simply have interesting conversations, there’s a place for you here.
Take a break, get creative, and join Adelphe Connect for a relaxed Sip & Paint session!
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years, this welcoming session is all about creativity, conversation, and trying something new in a fun and informal atmosphere. Enjoy a drink, connect with others, and create your own artwork to take home.
No experience needed - just come along ready to unwind, experiment, and enjoy the process.
Spots are limited for this session, so be sure to pre-regsiter to save a seat!
Please note, this session takes place at the same time as the Tasting Experience with Sablière. We kindly ask that you register for one session out of the two options.
Join Sablière for an intimate, non-alcoholic tasting experience designed to open up the palate, spark curiosity, and awaken the senses!
This relaxed, small-group session offers the chance to explore sophisticated alcohol-free flavours in a welcoming and conversational setting. Expect a guided tasting designed to spark curiosity, connection, and discovery while learning more about the craft, ingredients, and stories behind Sablière’s products.
Spaces are limited, creating a more personal and immersive experience for attendees.

A quick welcome from the team and our partners who helped make this evening possible.
Instead of founders pitching to funders, we flip the script. Each funder gets two minutes to explain who they are, what they offer, and who they're looking for – followed by three minutes from a founder they've supported, sharing a real funding decision: what options they considered, what they chose, and how it helped them grow.
Four founders will take to the stage to make a specific, actionable ask of the audience. After the session, head to the whiteboards in the main networking room to sign up and help.
Each funder sits at a dedicated table. Founders rotate in small groups every 10 minutes or so – ask questions, share what you're building, and get practical advice on what funding route might fit your stage and sector. No pressure, just honest conversation.
Stay for another drink, revisit the whiteboards, and follow up with anyone you didn't get a chance to talk to. This is where the real connections happen.
