In this workshop, you’ll acquire the essential skills to craft your own cash flow statement and forecast your financial trajectory.

‍

Who should attend?
This workshop is tailored for startups that anticipate incurring development costs before reaching profitability. No prior financial expertise is necessary – all you need are basic Excel skills and a positive attitude.

Y

OU WILL GET

• A Financial Forecast Excel spreadsheet to start plotting your numbers and foresee your startup’s financial future.

Join us on Women’s Entrepreneurship Day for a special Morning Talk with Gina Perier, co-founder of Lapee – the world’s first female urinal designed to make public spaces more equal.

Urinals for men have been around for a long time, but women and people who squat to pee have long been overlooked — they queue 34 times longer for toilets than men.

Relieving themselves often becomes time-consuming, unhygienic, and in the worst cases, unsafe.

To solve that problem, Gina Perier and her partner designed Lapee – a simple, practical solution to a long-standing example of gender inequality. Lapee gives women and people who squat to pee a quick, safe, and hygienic solution at events and in public spaces.

At this Morning Talk, Gina will share the story behind founding Lapee, her journey as an entrepreneur and designer, and how innovation can drive social change.

Free breakfast will be served. So join us from 8.15, grab coffee and a bun, and join the conversation!

8.15-8.30: Check-in and breakfast
8.30-9.00: The story of Lapee w. Gina Perier

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Are you new to the world of Business-to-Consumer (B2C) sales? This workshop is designed to demystify the key elements that drive success in selling products and services directly to consumers.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a new sales professional, or simply curious about how businesses connect with customers, this session will provide you with practical insights and strategies.

Workshop Objectives: Our workshop will break down the complex world of B2C sales into 4 essential components, helping participants understand how successful companies create and maintain strong customer relationships.

More and more corporates are exploring ways to engage with the venture ecosystem – not just through direct startup investments or accelerators, but by becoming LPs in VC funds. This model can open doors to deal flow, strategic insights, and long-term partnerships, but it also requires a clear strategy, internal alignment, and the right fund fit.

In this session, we’ll hear perspectives from both sides of the table:

• VCs who are actively looking for corporate LPs
• Corporates who have already taken the leap

You’ll get inspiration, honest reflections and concrete input on how to approach the LP role – as well as the opportunity to meet a selection of funds looking to engage with corporates.
