Host
Geeta Sidhu-Robb
Founder, Seven Rungs · Growth Advisor
Geeta Sidhu-Robb is a CEO Growth Advisor and founder of Seven Rungs, the structured growth programme for women building companies without venture capital. She created and hosts The Bootstrappers’ Breakfasts™, the UK’s first national platform for female founders reaching their first £1M on their own cashflow. She built her own first company, Nosh Detox, without outside capital. She advised Sam Smith of finnCap from £15M in revenue to IPO and a £52M exit, and Mia Drennan, who founded GLAS Agencies with £6,000 and closed a partial exit at around $1.8B in January 2026, thirteen months after becoming a client. She founded the WCorp certification, holds five Entrepreneur and Businesswoman of the Year awards, and spoke at TEDxBerlin on how healthcare systems fail Black and brown mothers.

What This Is
The Room for Women Building Differently.
The Bootstrappers’ Breakfasts™ is a national series for female founders building their first £1M without external investment — sitting in front of women who have done it, past £1M, past £5M, past £200M.
Glasgow joins the series this November. Each Breakfast names the Bargain most female founders have been making without realising — and gives you the language, and the room, to claim what you have already paid for.
No pitching. No networking theatre. Just women who have built, talking to women who are building.

The Framework on Stage
The Bootstrap Bargain™
Every Breakfast names a trade most female founders have been making without realising. It is not a punishment — it is the bargain most women would make again, even when they made it without knowing.
Glasgow is where we name it, in a room, out loud.
