My sincerest gratitude to Kate Harper, Jason Eisner and Rachel Smith - what a team! Thank you also to Ashurst and Champions of Change Coalition, and the wonderful Pete Horsley of Remarkable Tech for introducing me to Apropela! The power of Apropela is a generous community of individuals who harness their connections to support female founders scale the growth & impact of our early-stage companies. So many highlights on the evening, including sharing the stage with two incredible female entrepreneurs Camille Goldstone-Henry of Xylo Systems & Jacqueline Garrett of GGWP Academy!

These personal stories drive our passion to support people with "accommodation when you need it most".
