Description

Join us for a relaxed get together bringing together South Yorkshire’s business community over drinks and canapés.

This edition features a special conversation with Nicola Towse, founder and CEO of Sheffield-based tech startup Risqly. Building her business through Sheffield Tech Parks’ Cooper Project and recently selected as part of TECH SY’s FoundHERy cohort, Nicola is part of a new generation of founders helping to shape the region’s tech ecosystem.

In conversation with Russ Thompson, Nicola will share the story behind Risqly, the challenges of building a SaaS startup from the ground up and what she has learned from a career spent tackling difficult conversations before they become bigger problems.

Alongside her work in technology, Nicola is also training as a Death Doula, bringing a unique perspective on communication, resilience and the importance of addressing issues early. Expect an honest and wide-ranging discussion about entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership and balancing two seemingly very different worlds.

The conversation will be an informal 45-minute discussion hosted by Russ Thompson, followed by plenty of time for open networking over drinks.

Who should attend?

Business owners, senior leaders, founders and professionals interested in entrepreneurship, technology and the personal stories behind building a business.

Whether you're a regular unLTD reader, part of a growing company, or simply looking for thoughtful conversation in good company, you'll be very welcome.
