Funded & Fearless: Build Smarter. Get Funded. Go Further.
If you’re building a business right now, two things matter: how you use technology to help you grow, and how you fund that growth. Join Ladies Who Launch in Austin, TX for an evening designed to help you do both, better.
In September we're bringing together founders and experts who are actively navigating today’s landscape to share what’s actually working, from raising capital in a tough market to using AI tools to save time, scale smarter, and stay competitive.
No fluff. No theory. No shallow podcast-style sound bites. Just practical insight, real talk from women who are actually building sustainable businesses, and the kind of deep connections that move your business forward.
Expect actionable strategies, honest conversations, and a room full of ambitious women founders who are building what’s next in Austin's small business ecosystem? Yes, please!
As always, tickets are free but an RSVP is required to save your space!
