Bringing the F-Word to Women-Led Ventures

Bringing the F-word back and celebrating women-led businesses, this panel explores how we can lead with feminist values and leverage our business platforms to advance gender equality outcomes.

Hear from a dynamic cohort of local women entrepreneurs who have wedded purpose and profit: learn how they embed equity in hiring, champion inclusion in supply chains, invest in community initiatives, and hold themselves accountable to feminist principles.

Panel topics include:

• Gender-lens strategy: Using your business model to identify and address systemic inequalities

• Inclusive culture: Designing workplaces where all voices are heard and valued

• Values-led impact: Aligning products, services and partnerships with social justice goals

• Advocacy in action: Amplifying gender-equality messages through your brand and networks

After the panel, stick around for relaxed networking over drinks and snacks—swap war stories, spark collaborations and begin building a local support network of bold, values driven founders.

Whether you’re refining your first pitch or scaling an established venture, you’ll leave armed with practical strategies to infuse every aspect of your business with feminist integrity and to improve gender equality both inside and beyond your organization.
