📍 Venue: SISTER – Renold Building, 32a Altrincham Street, Manchester, M1 7JR
The Female Founders Takeover is a bold and inspiring evening bringing together female founders, entrepreneurs, and allies to connect, collaborate, and share their voices.
Designed to unite and amplify the largest collective of female founder communities in the North, the event creates a powerful space where women in business come together under one roof to connect, support, and grow.
Alongside meaningful conversations and honest storytelling, the event will also showcase female-led businesses, giving founders the opportunity to share their products and services with an engaged and supportive audience.
The evening is about more than networking, it’s about visibility, collaboration, and creating real opportunities for women to be seen, heard, and supported in business.
