Join us for this session as part of our Power Her Up programme. This programme is designed to to encourage and support more female founders at the University of Edinburgh.

In this session we'll hear from an inspiring female entrepreneur Alex Feechan is the founder of FINDRA an award winning outdoor active clothing and lifestyle brand. Alex came up with the idea for FINDRA standing in a bike shop and realizing 80% of the clothing was for men and the 20% that was for women were just an afterthought. Alex knew she could do better.

More on Power Her Up

This new support programme is designed to empower those student entrepreneurs who identify as female to succeed.

We are collaborating with Advancing Eve to bring you Power Her Up. With this support programme we aim to:

  • Create a supportive network of women who can form a community and share knowledge and experiences
  • Equip you with an understanding of the challenges facing female entrepreneurs
  • Help you to build your confidence and break down limiting beliefs
  • Networking opportunities with other female entrepreneurs

As part of this programme you will have access to a themed, in-person event once a month, a WhatsApp group and other benefits announced at these sessions.  Learn more.
