AccelerateHER female founder showcase

The AccelerateHER Female Founder Showcase is coming to Aberdeen for an afternoon built around ambitious women, bold businesses and the connections that can help move them forward.

16 female founders will take to the stage.

They’ll pitch their businesses, share their ambitions and put their ideas in front of a room of investors, business leaders, supporters and ecosystem partners.

And this isn’t a sit-back-and-watch kind of event.

You’ll play a part in the quick-fire pitching, helping us identify the pitches that stand out, while meeting the founders behind some of Scotland’s most exciting emerging businesses.

We’ll also have guest speakers, fireside conversations with AccelerateHER CEO Elizabeth Pirrie, and plenty of time over lunch and the reception to make the connections that often matter just as much as what happens on stage.

We’re particularly looking forward to welcoming Witches of Scotland Founders Dr Claire Madison Mitchell KC and Zoe Venditozzi to the programme too, bringing a powerful and thought-provoking perspective on women’s voices, visibility and the stories we choose to remember.

This is what the Showcase is all about: Giving female founders the opportunity to be seen and heard.

Putting ambitious businesses in front of people who can support what happens next.

And bringing together a community that wants to see more women build, grow and scale successful businesses.

Come ready to listen, connect, support the founders taking the stage and see what Scotland’s female founder pipeline looks like up close.
