📍 Location: Canva London Office


Scaling is often described as the most exciting — and the most demanding — phase of building a venture.


Moving from early traction to sustainable growth brings new questions, new pressures, and new leadership challenges. It requires not just strategy, but resilience, clarity, and the right support network.


We’re delighted to invite you to an evening designed to explore exactly this.

Hosted by the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre in partnership with Canva, Inspiring Female Founders and the Art of Scaling will bring together female founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders for an open and practical conversation about what it really takes to grow a venture.


Rather than focusing on polished success stories, the evening will centre on honest lessons, the decisions, trade-offs, and turning points that shape the scaling journey.


What to Expect

• A candid panel discussion with founders and scaling experts sharing real insights from their growth journeys
• A mentoring session for attending founders, offering direct feedback, guidance, and meaningful connections


Why Attend

This is not just a panel event, it is a space to learn, reflect, and connect.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Gain practical insight into the realities of scaling
  • Learn from those who have navigated growth firsthand
  • Receive tailored feedback through mentoring conversations
  • Connect with fellow founders and ecosystem leaders

You’ll leave with fresh perspective, new connections, and practical ideas to support your next stage of growth.


This in-person event has limited seats. Please apply only if you can attend on the day.


You will be informed if your application to attend has been accepted.
