August is here, and at Ladies Who Launch, we’re declaring it the month of working smarter, not harder. This edition is packed with quick wins so you can set yourself up for a strong fall—without burning out before Q4. Think grants you can apply for in under an hour, action-packed reads and listens, and one 15-minute challenge designed to save you time (and sanity) later.

Ladies Who Launch is back in your inbox with our refreshed monthly newsletter: your go-to for tactical tips, funding opportunities, and inspiration to fuel your business journey. In this edition, you’ll find actionable insights on documenting backend systems, three major U.S. grant opportunities, and bold advice on asking one game-changing question this July. We’re also sharing must-listen talks from our Funded & Fearless London event, including resilience lessons from the founder of handbag brand DeMellier of London. Plus, don’t miss our #lwlglobalchallenge, curated reads, and the inspiring story of Ruby Laine Apparel in our Launcher Spotlight.
