The room for women building their first £1M — without the cheque.™
A national breakfast series and a weekly podcast for female founders building their first £1M — in front of women who bootstrapped to £200M+.
One point three percent of UK venture capital goes to all-female founding teams. The rest of us build differently — and this is the room for it. The tour is rolling out across eight cities in the UK and Ireland, with a Europe tour to follow.
Take a seat in the room, or take the mic.
The Breakfasts happen live, in cities, by waitlist. The podcast carries the same conversation to the women who can't be in the room — and it's looking for the founders worth recording.
The breakfast tour
Eight cities across the UK and Ireland, with more being added. Sixty places per room. Each Breakfast puts you in front of women who bootstrapped past £1M — sometimes past £200M — talking about what they did to get there. Join the waitlist for first access to every city.
The Bootstrappers' Breakfasts™ podcast
The same room, in your ears. Two tracks: Building Now, founders mid-build to their first £1M; and Past the First Million, women auditing the Bargain in retrospect. Know a founder who should be on it? Or building something worth recording yourself?
The tour is being built.
Eight cities across the UK and Ireland, with more being added. One waitlist gets you first access to every room — tell us where you are and we'll keep you posted as dates land.
Inside the room
Breakfast, 8.30–10.30am. A panel of women who have bootstrapped past £1M — some past £200M — through every cycle this room has ahead of it. They name what they did, and they name how they did it.
A Europe tour is being built.
We're scoping European cities now. Nothing is set yet — so the waitlist is the way in. Join it and you'll get first word the moment rooms are confirmed, and you can tell us which city you'd travel to.
Cities to be confirmed. Dates to follow. If there's a European city where you'd fill a room, the Europe waitlist is where to say so.
