About this event
Building connections is vital if you’re looking to build your business and having a community of like-minded people is essential, especially if you are a solo or small co-founding team starting up or looking to scale.
AccelerateHER, Techscaler by CodeBase and Elevator are delighted to be joining forces for this informal meet-up event for female and non-binary founders across Dundee and Tayside. This is a chance to meet other like-minded women, build your contacts and share your knowledge.
We are also delighted to be joined by Inez Hogarth of Data Understood, who will share her story of starting and growing a business– and the challenges and opportunities she encountered along the way.
Meet Your Guest Speaker:
Inez Hogarth of Data Understood
Inez co-founded Data Understood based on a need she was seeing in many organisations she had worked with - their inability to see and use their data easily. Often the perceived complexity of data prevents organisations from using their data and their internal resources effectively.
Her passion is in helping our customers see their data in a simple way, giving them the tools to understand it, and showing them how they can best act upon data and its insights to achieve their strategic goals.
