On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome the relaunch of FemTUK at H.O.M.E, an evening bringing together female founders in music tech to talk honestly about building a business from the ground up. With only 12.4% of UK music tech companies female led, there is still a lot of work to do to empower and support more women to find the confidence to found their own project, and that is what FemTUK is here to change.
FemTUK’s new Chair Sarah Jones hosted a panel with Hazel Savage, Rachel Beach and Cathy Long, digging into the theme From Side Hustle to Startup: what it actually takes to go from an idea to a company that stands on its own.
The panel got into the practical stuff in depth, and we got to hear each panellist’s challenges building their own companies, from landing a first customer to knowing the right timing to raise funding, and what they learned from it. The kind of night where you leave with a few new contacts and a clearer sense of what to do next.
Thanks to Sarah, Hazel, Rachel and Cathy for such an insightful conversation, and to FemTUK and MTUK for choosing H.O.M.E to host the relaunch.
