OMG…. Ideas Fest, we’re coming back 👀🎤
Last year we were on stage pitching Mums Who Build. This year, we’ve been invited to come back to host our very own workshop — and we’re bringing four brilliant founders with us.
Visibility Builds Businesses: Lessons from Four Founders Building Alongside Motherhood
We’ll be getting into what visibility actually looks like when you’re building a business alongside everything else life throws at you — what’s worked, what they’ve learned, and how putting themselves and their businesses out there has helped them grow.
Joining us:
✨ Francesca — award-winning entrepreneur, executive coach Francesca Hodgson and former co-founder of GoodBox, the fintech behind contactless donation points used by charities across the UK.
✨ Catherine-Ann — founder of Doqit | Life Admin System , the secure document platform inspired by her experience as a SEND parent navigating overwhelming paperwork.
✨ Anisha — founder of Personalised Longlasting Jewellery for Every Day , which she grew into a six-figure jewellery brand alongside a full-time career, and now founder of WE ARE ORGANISED .
✨ Suzanne — founder of YES Virtual Assistance (Your Executive Solution), sharing what nearly a decade of building a successful business has looked like — and how motherhood has reshaped the journey.
📍 The Acorn Stage, Dreamland
🗓️ Wednesday 9 September
⏰ 10.30–11.30am
If you’re heading to Ideas Fest, come and find us. We’d absolutely love to see some familiar faces (and meet lots of new ones) 🧡
