A networking event for female entrepreneurs called Bootstrappers Breakfast launches in Glasgow and Edinburgh on November 4.

A new business networking event called Bootstrappers Breakfast is coming to Glasgow and Edinburgh on November 4 to support female entrepreneurs. The event is being led by business strategist Geeta Sidhu-Robb, founder of Nosh Detox, who has helped businesses grow beyond £100 million in value.

The Bootstrappers Breakfast forms part of Geeta's wider Bootstrappers Business Academy, a virtual programme designed to help women build and grow businesses without external funding. Geeta also leads The Womanist Movement, a global initiative focused on workplace equity and female empowerment. She said: 'Most growth advice for new businesses involves how to attract investment, but for women it's not that simple. Statistically, only 1.3% of women receive venture capital funding for their businesses. I realised this is such a huge barrier to entrepreneurship for women and it's something I feel passionate about combatting.'
