Women Who Lead: Branding & Fundraising Insights is a vibrant evening of connection, learning, and inspiration—hosted by Mariane Bekker from Founders Bay. This event brings together ambitious women from across the startup and creative worlds to talk honestly about what it takes to build a standout brand and raise funding with purpose and confidence. 💪

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale, you’ll get fresh insights, practical tips, and real encouragement from people who’ve been in your shoes. 💡
This is more than just a panel—it’s a space to build community, ask questions, and get inspired. Come ready to connect with like-minded women, share your story, and leave feeling supported and energized. Drinks, snacks, and great conversations included! 🍷
