In her words
Pitched 94 investors before one said yes. I kept the notes. If you are raising and being asked questions the men in the room are not asked, I can help you prepare for exactly those.
What she can help with
Raising Money
Pitching investors, banks, and grant panels that fund far fewer women.
Starting a Business
Going from an idea to a registered, trading business without a safety net.
First Hires & Managing a Team
Becoming someone's boss for the first time when you built the job yourself.
Unconscious Bias
Recognising and responding when bias shapes feedback or opportunities.
Others who cover similar ground
Zainab Idris
Independent pharmacy owner · Two branches
Left a chain to open my own shop with a loan I nearly did not get. I can talk you through business plans that banks actually accept, and what it costs — in money and in nerves — to stop having a boss.
Valentina Rossi
Winemaker · Took over the family estate
Inherited a vineyard that the neighbours assumed my brother would run. Good on family businesses, succession, and being underestimated by an entire industry for a decade.
Claire Dubois
Producer · Funds and makes documentaries
Freelance for sixteen years, which means sixteen years of negotiating fees with no HR to appeal to. I will help you name a number and stop apologising for it.
