AccelerateHER + Techscaler Meetup: South of Scotland

Whether you’re working on a fledgling idea for a startup or already in the thick of scaling your business – technology can offer useful solutions to businesses of all shapes and sizes. As a founder, whether in tech or any other sector, you’ll also know that having a community of people to connect with, share knowledge with, and generally find support amongst is invaluable.

For women and non-binary folk in the startup world community is even more vital - providing a network to turn to as you hit each milestone, and when you want to give back to the next wave of inspiring women and non-binary entrepreneurs.

This Meetup will be a space for women and non-binary founders, of all industries, to come together, hear inspiring stories from fellow founders, and connect for ongoing peer-support. The mission of AccelerateHER is to accelerate growth for UK female founders to scale companies, access investment and be visible to inspire others. As such, we kindly ask that this event is for women and non-binary people only. This will help us meet the outcomes of the AccelerateHER mission.

You will be joined by women and non-binary founders, as well as team members from AccelerateHER and CodeBase.
Our guest for this event is Melinda Kennedy, Managing Director & Co-Founder at SuperControl - the self-catering booking platform.

This event is taking place at The Stove Network & Cafe, 100 High Street, Dumfries, on Wednesday 29th January from 12pm - 2pm.

We ask everyone to sign up individually, so we can have an estimate of how many people want to attend, this will allow us to prevent food waste by avoiding over-catering. Please cancel your ticket if you are no longer able to attend.

We will also check-in each person on Eventbrite as they join the event so make sure you've signed up to the event in order to attend!

Tickets are very limited so be sure to register!
