We Built an Incubator for Women: The Untapped Story

Описание: Forget high-volume networking; it’s time for real decision-makers. Discover how Untapped and The Mixer are changing the game for women in drinks, and why the right environment (yes, including disco-button toilets!) makes all the difference for the next generation of founders.

If you’ve heard of Untapped, our year-long incubator scheme, but want to know exactly how it works and how it’s levelling the playing field for women in the industry, this episode is a must-watch.

Recorded live at the inaugural The Mixer trade show at the Ministry of Sound, Rom sits down with Emma Thackray (Co-founder of Hip Pop) to talk shop.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
The Untapped Mission: Supporting female founders through a ground-breaking incubator program.

The Reality of Scaling: Emma’s steep learning curve moving from a kitchen start-up to a commercial brand.

Effective Networking: Why The Mixer focuses on bringing real buyers and decision-makers into the room.

Community Power: The overwhelming response from industry experts wanting to "pay it forward."

The "Improver" Mindset: Why imposter syndrome should never stand in your way.
