What this is
Women, Wealth & Capital fills the gap that too many founders reach the fundraising table without - practical, unbiased knowledge about how funding really works.
An ongoing series, led by experts in venture, angel investing, debt finance, and capital strategy. Each session stands alone, and the programme grows. Educational, not pitch-led. Honest, not aspirational.
Designed for founders at every stage - from first raise to later rounds - who want to make decisions from knowledge, not pressure.
An overview of the full funding landscape, grants, angels, VCs, debt, and how to map the right path for your business.
Dilution, cap tables, term sheets, and what founders actually keep after a raise. The session most founders wish they'd had earlier.
Often-overlooked capital routes that protect equity and support sustainable, founder-led growth.
For women interested in Angel investing, hear from those who've already started — evaluating deals, backing female-led businesses & the tax incentives, building a portfolio with intention.
The programme grows with the community. Subscribe to hear about new sessions as they're announced.
The FemFinity Loop
WWC is designed around a simple idea: when female founders build capital literacy, they raise better, keep more, and in time reinvest in the next generation of women building businesses.
Why this matters
Female founders are the fastest-growing segment in UK entrepreneurship. The opportunity is significant. The information gap is holding it back.
of all high-growth companies in the UK are women-powered businesses

British Business Bank 2024How it works
Each session is designed to give founders something practical they can act on, not a networking event with a panel bolted on.
Hear directly from investors, founders, and finance experts who have done this, with real context, not polished messaging.
Founders who have navigated the funding landscape share what they actually experienced, the things pitch events don't surface.
Small-group formats that let you apply what you've heard to your own situation, with space for real questions.
Every session is designed around a clear outcome, a framework, a decision tool, or a shifted perspective you leave with.
Sessions are limited to 40–60 founders to keep conversations genuine, small enough for questions, and large enough for a real community to form around them.

The Loop in Action
Every session moves founders further round the loop: building capital literacy, raising with confidence, and reinvesting in the next generation. Across our rooms we've hosted a sold-out crowd of 50 founders, a keynote from The Female Lead drawing on research from over 3,500 women, and expert panels from HSBC Innovation Banking, Alma Angels and Innovate UK. Here's what it looks like in the room.
Session 02 · June 2026 · London Tech Week
Forvis Mazars, London. Founders, investors and future angels, together for one conversation: not just how women raise capital, but how women become it.
Rowena Humby (Starcount & The Female Lead) challenged the assumptions we still hold about women and money. The statistic that stayed with the room: 58% of women want to learn more about investing — only 8% feel very confident doing it.
Sapna Shah, Tahani Anne Jabado and Vanesa Pazos, hosted by Lucy Colson, shared the risks, lessons, mistakes and opportunities — and how to get started, with first cheques from as little as £1k.
Joining syndicates to learn the language, doing due diligence, understanding cap tables, and using SEIS / EIS tax relief to manage risk. Investing isn't reserved for vast capital or insider networks.

What founders said
Feedback from attendees at Session 01 — Funding Paths for Female Founders, April 2026
No gatekeeping. No performance. Just honest conversations about money, growth and what it really takes to get funded as a female founder.
A space that felt genuinely open, practical and inspiring. I left feeling really energised and grateful to have connected with so many incredible women.
Privileged to have been part of a supportive, enlightening space. Hats off to Hazel and Lucy for a fabulous collaboration.
For women like me building a fast-growing FMCG business, this was exactly what we needed. Really looking forward to all the things they have planned.
So inspiring to bring so many women together. Really interesting speakers. Genuinely one of the best events I've been to this year.
I didn't even know what pre-seed meant two months ago. I left with my head full and my notebook overflowing. The panel of founders were honest in a way you don't always get. Real stories. Hard lessons. That reframe alone was worth the evening.
For partners & sponsors
WWC works with aligned organisations who believe in closing the knowledge gap for female founders, not a logo placement for its own sake.
Who's behind it
Women, Wealth & Capital is a programme produced by Hazel Nabarro (FemFinity) and Lucy Colson, in response to a clear and consistent gap: female founders arriving at funding conversations without the foundational knowledge to navigate them well.
It sits within the broader FemFinity mission, to support women building businesses and wealth, and is designed as an ongoing series, not a one-off event. The goal is a community of founders who understand capital, protect their equity, and reinvest in the next generation.
Hazel founded FemFinity to build community and support for female founders and investors. WWC is the flagship community within that ecosystem.
Lucy brings deep expertise in strategy and capital markets, translating complex funding concepts into practical knowledge founders can actually use.
The Femfinity Loop: Grow, Raise, Reinvest. The founders who build wealth today become the angels who back the next generation. WWC is where that loop begins.
