Founders Soapbox

Calling all founders!

Feeling the startup struggle? You're not alone. Running a company is a wild ride! Full of challenges, doubts, and moments that make you want to tear your hair out. But it's also incredibly rewarding.

That's why we created The Soapbox, a bi-monthly gathering just for founders like you. We ditch the suits, grab some drinks, and listen to inspiring stories from fellow entrepreneurs who've been there, done that.

This month, we've got an amazing lineup ready to share their wisdom and ignite your entrepreneurial fire:

• Margaret Gibson OBE - How to find your why: Ever feel lost in the startup chaos? Margaret's here to help you discover your "why" and find purpose in the madness.
• Wes Beard - Pivoting towards a successful sales strategy: Sales got you down? Wes will dish out the secrets to pivoting your strategy and closing more deals than ever.
• Antoinette Ross - Blind spots, Balance and Bravery: Feeling overwhelmed? Antoinette will reveal how to navigate blind spots, find balance, and embrace bravery in the face of challenges.

Here's how the evening will roll:

• 5:00 PM: Get your network on! Mingle with fellow founders and swap startup war stories.
• 5:30 PM: Speakers take the stage! Each founder will drop their knowledge bombs in a 20-minute talk followed by a quick Q&A.
• 6:30 PM: Time to refuel! We'll break for a delicious dinner.
• 7:00 PM: More inspiration on tap! Another founder shares their story, followed by Q&A.
• 7:30 PM: Keep the connections flowing! More networking with your fellow founders.
• 8:00 PM: Event wraps up, but feel free to grab your crew and head to a nearby pub to keep the conversation going (we won't judge!).

P.S. This event is for founders only (fresh founders or speakers welcome too!). If you're ready to join the community and get inspired, apply here: Glasgow Exchange.
