Changemakers: Honest Founder Stories with Dr Helen O'Neil, CEO, Founder of Hertility

For founders, by founders.

Changemakers is Virgin StartUp’s flagship storytelling event, created to spotlight the messier, more honest side of entrepreneurship. No glossy highlight reels just raw, unfiltered conversations about the realities of building a business.

This October, we’re excited to welcome Dr Helen O’Neill Associate Professor in Reproductive and Molecular Genetics at UCL and CEO & Founder of Hertility. With Hertility, Dr Helen is turning scientific insight into a fast-scaling, purpose-driven business reshaping women’s health. Join us for an unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to scale a high-growth femtech company from fundraising and leadership to breaking into a market that’s been ignored for too long.

Hear the real story behind Hertility the wins, the challenges, and everything in between. If you’re building a business with impact, this is the night you cannot miss.

Guiding the conversation is our brilliant host, Natalie Pearce speaker, facilitator and coach helping founders build businesses (and lives) that actually feel good.

She’s worked with brands from Amnesty to NatWest, co-founded slow grow co, writes the Reboot Required newsletter, and brings her energy and honesty to every Changemakers stage.

Why come?
Because building a business is messy and you don’t have to do it alone. Changemakers is your space to hear unfiltered founder stories, swap experiences with people on the same path, and leave feeling inspired, supported and seen.
