Join the chair of The Lifted Project Leeds, Zandra Moore (CEO of Pantintelligence) and vice-chair, Natalie Boswell (Regional Development Director of Lloyds Bank), to officially launch the regional initiative that plans to increase the number of female-founded high-growth enterprises by 50% within three years.
The event will be held at the offices of Lloyds Bank, 11-12 Wellington Place, Leeds LS1 4AP from 2.30pm - 4.30pm.
The Lifted Project is a nationwide initiative that is creating regional growth boards in five cities across the UK, in a bid to make high-growth entrepreneurship more accessible to women outside of London and the South East.
The Lifted Project was set up by Zandra Moore, Co-founder and CEO of Panintelligence, an award-winning business intelligence software based in Leeds. It was established as a result of a recommendation from a new government taskforce established to boost private investment in women-led businesses across the UK.
The project has created five Regional Growth Boards in Leeds, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham and Newcastle with the aim of increasing the number of female-founded high-growth enterprises by 50% within three years. The initiative is backed and supported by Lloyds Bank and is being led by Lifted Ventures.
Lifted Ventures, co-founded by Jordan Dargue and Helen Oldham, is an early-stage investment connector, existing to increase the flow of early-stage capital to female founders, and to promote the business benefits of backing women.
