Founders Afternoon Tea | In Celebration of Women's Month

After four years of hosting events for hundreds of women through Innovative Minds (featuring partnerships with Maybelline, Milk Makeup, and Sonangol), founder Arieth Novais is launching something more intentional under her new brand, Aréthe Studio.

The Founders' Afternoon Tea - Women's Month networking event for female entrepreneurs and business owners in East London.

This is an intimate, afternoon tea experience for UK female founders who are serious about building sustainable businesses with clarity, structure, and without the burnout.

This event is designed for:

✅ Early-stage founders building their first structured business
✅ Solo entrepreneurs who feel isolated and need community
✅ Women re-launching or pivoting their businesses
✅ UK-based female business owners (all industries welcome)
✅ Anyone who values intentional connection over transactional networking

You'll fit right in if:

• You're building a real business (not just a side hustle)
• You want systems and structure, not just motivation
• You're tired of surface-level networking
• You value quality conversations over quantity of contacts
• You're ready to connect with women who get it

✨ Full afternoon tea experience ( teas + light bites)
✨ Access to guest speaker panel & Q&A
✨ Participation in guided conversation circles
✨ Meet 5 curated women-led vendors
✨ Group photo & post-event digital content
✨ Entry into Aréthe Studio community (ongoing support)

Arieth is the founder of Aréthe Studio, a digital support platform for female entrepreneurs building sustainable businesses.
