Insights from our Women In Business Forum
Propelor recently welcomed a full house to Mount Congreve for a special Women in Business Forum, bringing together founders and members of the ecosystem for a morning of insight and connection.
The highlight of the event was a candid and engaging conversation with Kara Owen, who shared her perspectives on leadership, collaboration, and the importance of building strong relationships. Her reflections resonated with founders navigating growth, particularly the value of adaptability and clear communication when scaling beyond home markets.
The event also featured pitches from three ambitious NextWave participants, who showcased their progress and global potential, demonstrating how building beyond home borders is now a very natural instinct for founders. Each founder brought a distinct perspective, underlining the strength and diversity of early-stage innovation emerging from the region.
A key takeaway from the morning was the role of connections – how consistent progress, supported by the right networks, can accelerate both personal leadership and business growth. The conversation reinforced the importance of collaboration across sectors and borders, particularly for startups aiming to scale internationally.
We will have the full recording of the event available on our YouTube channel soon.
Events like this reflect Propelor’s continued commitment to supporting founders at critical stages of their journey—creating opportunities to connect, learn, and grow within a strong and supportive ecosystem.
