2025 Cohort participants

In the morning, we host a sector-agnostic cohort of women founders for focused workshops and curated 1:1 meetings with investors.

The best part? It’s all free.

Our 2025 cohort gathered near to 40 founders and reflected the diversity of today’s entrepreneurial landscape — across backgrounds, sectors, and funding journeys.

  • 16% VC-funded

  • 40% pre-seed

  • 44% bootstrapped

We welcome founders at all stages, provided the project is credible and ambitious. Diverse profiles and perspectives are strongly encouraged.

Later that day, 100 guests are invited to join us for an evening conversation which convenes leaders across exploration, science, industry, entrepreneurship, and culture.

The day concludes with a cocktail reception at the residence of the French ambassador in London.

This year’s theme, Women Pioneers, celebrates those who have opened paths where none existed and who continue to push boundaries across science, industry, entrepreneurship, and culture.

From resilience forged in extreme environments to innovations that reshape entire sectors, these women do not simply adapt to change — they create it.

The format remains curated and senior, prioritising depth of exchange over visibility.
