Education, Networking, Community

Ladies Who Launch recognizes the critical importance of building and strengthening our communities—from hardworking teams and loyal customers to the towns and cities where we live and work.

On 14 November, we learned more about supporting your ventures—from ways to scale and fund your business to finding balance and resilience in your work.

The program was followed by a networking mix & mingle where folks had the opportunity to engage with peers, entrepreneurs, and funders from across sectors.

Thank you to all that attended!

Thanks to Our Sponsor, Allstate Northern Ireland!

LWL’s free programming is made possible thanks to the generous support of our steadfast partners. Thank you for your support and for helping women and non-binary founders achieve their dreams!
