About this event

Business • Startups

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about chasing capital. It’s about courage, resilience, and community. That’s what Funded & Fearless is all about.

Fresh off a sold-out event in London, Ladies Who Launch and Canva are bringing this experience to Austin. Join us for an evening of stories, connection, and practical inspiration designed to help you grow your business without the gatekeepers.

You’ll hear from founders and experts who will:

  • Share real talk on fundraising and building sustainable businesses
  • Show how AI tools can save time and scale your impact
  • Spark the kind of encouragement every founder needs along the journey

And as always, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with Austin’s vibrant community of women and non-binary entrepreneurs.

It’s free. It’s founder-first. And it’s happening Oct 15th at Canva's HQ.
