Electra was founded in 2022 as a community where awesome women can unite and:

Connect: Build relationships across sectors between intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs. Build connections between related initiatives so more things thrive.
Grow: Enable problem-solving. Overcome challenges women face in business together. Support women to grow in their careers and navigate key life events.
Celebrate: Amplify the successes and contributions of women in our region. Build awareness about the awesome achievements of women.

Our events aren't like any other you'll attend. Together we are creating a joyous experience and a place for you to bring your whole self, and ask and answer the questions that you don't usually have time to contend with.

We hope to build a community of women that exists to support, celebrate, and enable each other to thrive as business leaders. There is an urban legend that all the decisions in Bristol are made by a ‘grey blanket’ of older men who are well-connected and in influential positions. We want to enable a more multi-coloured network so that decisions are made by an increasingly diverse set of people. And ultimately ideas and initiatives are more likely to be developed and are more likely to be inclusive/representative.

How will we know when Electra has succeeded?

There will be more women in leadership roles across the region.
Women will feel stronger, better supported, and more empowered to drive change forward.
More female founders will secure funding, and female business owners will be celebrated.
Networks, mentorships, coaching relationships, and relevant infrastructure will spring up organically.
Women will feel supported in tackling challenges they face at home and at work.
The pervasive conversations in the region will include more female perspective and better variety.
Women will give one another a step up and weave their own networks across the city region.

The smallprint

Please note that we encourage a maximum of 2 people per organisation to attend so if you know of others who are coming from your company, please liaise with them to make a plan. This approach is intended to help maximise positive impact and new connections. This isn't a place. to sell yourself or your business services!
