On the Business: Mastery Day – London – 2nd May, 2024
Equipping women with the skills to be rockstars in the boardroom
in partnership with FinTech Innovation Lab, Primary Venture Partners & Enterprise Tech London
A number of senior women from the tech world are working together to create an action-oriented approach to closing the diversity gap in tech leadership.
Just 6% of the companies recognised in the 2023 “Cloud 100” are led by women CEOs, and Work-Bench’s 2022 #Womenterprise Report revealed that female-founded enterprise software startups represent only 2.08% of all enterprise software startups. There is also an underrepresentation of women across most of the key executive functions, particularly in go-to-market, strategy/finance and product/engineering.
We want to help women to excel in senior leadership positions. This event will focus on “First Team” Leadership Principles, P&L fluency and business ratios. This pragmatic and practical approach will allow women leaders to move from working “in the business” to working “on the business”.
Bringing together Senior Management and C-Suite women across all tech business functions, the day will include the following sessions:
· SaaS P&L Walkthrough + Why It Matters for You;
· “First Team” Mentality for Senior Leaders;
· Financial Metrics for Sales & Marketing;
· Financial Metrics for Product & Engineering;
· Financial Metrics for CS;
· Succeeding in the Boardroom; and
· Inside Track on Fundraising.
The sessions are being delivered by a list of international tech leaders – Cassie Young, Nicole Fitzgerald, Michaela Lehr and more speakers to be confirmed.
The London event will capitalise on the tried and tested success of the inaugural event in New York in November 2023 – an event that had three no-shows, an NPS of 91 and multiple women telling us they “wished they had been offered this program ten years earlier.” Following the rave reviews of the inaugural event, a follow-up session was held in NYC in February with similar feedback and just one no-show! We are now ecstatic to host the next instalment in London.
Please consider joining us for this powerful day. Applications are due by Friday 12th April, and we’ll select 100 women for this event.
Attendees must be available to attend all segments of this dynamic, fast-paced afternoon, and will be invited to enjoy a networking reception with fellow attendees, speakers, and investors to cap off the day.
This event is an application only, in-person event at the FinTech Innovation Lab in London, and is free to attend.

Primary Venture Partners: Primary Venture Partners are investors who take a low-volume, high-conviction approach, committing unreasonable resources to create unfair advantages.
