ScaleHerUp LIVE!!! Season 3 Premiere

After a short break we’re back and better then ever with a very special episode. Back in May we had our very first Scale Her UP LIVE at the University of Aberdeen’s Sir Duncan Rice Library, our version of a live episode interviewing our panel of amazing businesswoman and celebrating what it’s means to be a woman in their field. We were joined by Ann Johnson of Blaze Manufacturing Solutions, Tracy Franz of TopPA and Maya Vertigans of Planner Bee VA. All long time members of the Scale Her Up families and female entrepreneurs who set out to change their field. It was a roaring success and helped introduce both students and other female business owners to each other and the wonderful community we have here. We were lucky enough to have an amazing filmographer, Karim Hurtig, who recorded the whole session, so that those who couldn’t join, can experience the joy of this experience.

Be sure to keep an eye on our social medias, our instagram @Scaleherup and also my LinkedIn at Brenda Hector for future ScaleHerUp events, and daily updates.

Only 1 in 3 UK entrepreneurs are female.

If UK women matched UK men in starting and scaling businesses, it would add £250 billion to the UK economy (Alison Rose, The Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship 2018)
