Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee the Rt Hon Caroline Nokes MP, on behalf of The Entrepreneurs Network and Barclays, will be hosting a reception on the Cholmondeley Room and Terrace of the Houses of Lords to celebrate the launch of the latest Female Founders Forum report.

The Female Founders Forum was set up in 2016 by The Entrepreneurs Network in partnership with Barclays, to encourage, support and promote female entrepreneurship. Over the years, the Female Founders has undertaken six major research reports and further briefing papers, covering everything from revealing the extent of the equity funding gap, the role of networks and mentoring, the importance of education, the impact of the pandemic, the importance of high-growth sectors, and founders who have raised in excess of £1 million.

This will be a chance to take stock of what has been achieved, and a chance to consider what obstacles to female entrepreneurship still remain.

The Female Founders Forum was set up by The Entrepreneurs Network in partnership with Barclays, to encourage, support and promote female entrepreneurship. We seek to connect some of the UK’s most inspirational female entrepreneurs with those on the cusp of rapid growth.

Advisers & Supporters should email events@tenentrepreneurs.org to confirm your attendance. A calendar invite will then be sent to you with all the details.
