Science-backed startups: from lab to market
The prototype-to-company gap is the hardest problem in deep tech — and in the UK it runs through a reformed but still-negotiated spin-out system. The panel's job is to make “structurally investable vs. technically impressive” tangible.

The question is no longer whether deep tech is fundable — it's how a science founder competes for attention and writes a credible capital strategy when AI absorbs most dollars and the cheque must survive a 3–5 year horizon with no revenue.

- How to transition into tech from non-traditional backgrounds
- How to position yourself for promotions and high-impact roles
- How to negotiate compensation and visibility and not only;
Building, Growing & Leading in Tech
In this track, healthtech founders, clinicians, and neuroscientists view health as a system designed for high-pressure environments to help women decode biological signals, sustain productivity, and manage stress. We will break down how to leverage wearables and AI diagnostics, track hormonal and gut health, manage cognitive load, and build a framework for sustainable performance.
Health, Longevity & Sustainable Performance
While "regular" startups face cut-throat competition, science-driven companies create unique unfair advantage.
By turning breakthroughs into defensible solutions for humanity’s biggest challenges, we demystify the science-backed path, proving that scientific rigor isn't a bottleneck, it’s the engine of business success.

Science-backed startups: from lab to market
We’re bringing together top investors and advisors from Convergence Partners, South East Angels, Alma Angels, Loyal VC, and Owl Ventures to pull back the curtain on how funding decisions are actually being made right now. Join us to find out what they are looking for, how to catch their eye, and exactly which new and traditional tools help VC funds operationalize their strategy in their daily routines.
London is buzzing as a top-tier tech hub, but let’s be honest — the venture capital playbook has completely changed. The era of "growth at all costs" is over; today, it’s all about smart capital efficiency, solid unit economics, and using AI as a real tool to cut operational costs.

We hosted our very first Ladies Who Tech conference in London: System in Flux, and what a launch it was.
From thought-provoking talks to dynamic roundtables, every part of the event was designed with intention, care, and a belief that tech is not just about systems, but about people reshaping them.
