Settle’s Post

International Women's day is this Friday 8th March, and as a woman in business, I feel strongly about supporting and championing other women who may wish to take the step into the unknown territory of running their own business. There are also times, where I need that support too from other female founders. I am part of BUY WOMEN BUILT, and for me and Beam - allergen free snacks (HFSS Compliant), the supportive environment that this provides has been transformative. BUY WOMEN BUILT isn't just a movement; it's a commitment to fostering economic equality and supporting the dreams of women entrepreneurs. By consciously choosing to support businesses owned and operated by women, we're not only investing in their success but also driving positive change in our communities and economies. It's a diverse community of founders from all walks of life, all ethnic backgrounds, all industries, businesses big and small, with one common goal. You may hopefully have seen the BUY WOMEN BUILT x Whole Foods Market takeover coverage last week, and this would not have been possible if it hadn't been for all the hard work of these two organisations behind the scenes. I never thought I would ever see my products in the window of Whole Foods Market, but thanks to the hard work of the collective, anything is possible. Hopefully, there are young girls (including my own) who see what can happen when we come together, and it may inspire them to think about what they can create, or become. #StrongerTogether #buywomenbuilt #wholefoodsmarket #beamworldUK

🙌 Jenny Li from Scalare Partners shared this call to action to help progress investment and support of women-founded business. 💥 Women in business don’t want cupcakes🧁, they want real support. And while it’s easy to pass the buck, here are three simple actions you can take today: 1️⃣  Connect with a female founder on LinkedIn and write a quick message to say who you are and what your professional background is, in case you have any skills or potential connections that could help their business progress. 2️⃣  Share about female founded businesses on your social media, and not just during Women’s History Month or International Women’s Day. This can go a long way in unlocking opportunities for women – because sometimes, it’s about who you know. 3️⃣ Take a female founder out to coffee and learn about their business and any opportunities where they could use support, financial or otherwise, and make a plan for how you or someone else can offer that support.  Catch the full article published by Women's Agenda 👇 https://lnkd.in/gnhtZVqH

Thank you, Sze-Yunn Pang, Swati Rai, and Damien Dugauquier, for an enlightening discussion last Thursday! Last week's session was a revelation into the world of start-ups – a realm many of us in #product and #tech ponder about but seldom explore. 🚀 Here's what was unpacked: The Courage to Leap 🌈 Stepping out of the corporate comfort zone feels like entering uncharted territory. Insights on transforming uncertainty into a powerful tool for personal and professional growth were shared. Adapting to Change ⏱️ The start-up world moves fast, with fewer resources but more room for impactful work. We examined the essential skills and mindsets for flourishing in this swift-paced and ever-evolving landscape. The Real Start-up Culture 🌐 Beyond the casual office perks lies the heart of start-up culture – innovation, agility, and personal development. We uncovered the core elements that differentiate start-ups and how they catalyse creativity and growth. Learning from Each Other: A Collective Journey 📚 Every transition from corporate to start-up is a unique story. Our speakers brought these narratives to life, providing relatable experiences, lessons learned, and practical advice. A heartfelt shout-out to everyone who participated and made the evening memorable, and a special thanks to Jungle Ventures for their partnership in this event. 📅 Mark Your Calendars for May! We're already gearing up for the next gathering. Expect more enriching conversations, inspiring stories, and networking opportunities.
