Accelerate Cambridge Female Founders Day: Peer Mentoring
The Female Founders Day event series features accomplished female entrepreneurs, who share their experiences, insights, and challenges they tackle in the world of business. This event series, run by Accelerate Cambridge Alumni and local entrepreneurs, promises to help strengthen and consolidate the Female Founder community in Cambridge. On Thursday 14 March 2024, the Accelerate Cambridge programme held an inaugural Female Founders Day. The event brought together the inspiring and enterprising founders of female-led ventures that have enrolled on the Accelerate Cambridge programme during its 10-year existence, for a series of panel discussions addressing some of the issues that female founders face and thinking about what the future of female entrepreneurship may look like. The Accelerate Cambridge programme continues to challenge the norm, with over a quarter of all ventures being female-led, almost double the average seen in 2023. A recent Accelerate Cambridge cohort comprising of over 50% female-led ventures suggests this figure is likely to improve.
