The Rise of the Female Entrepreneur Returns to Empower Women in Business

Renowned entrepreneur Sháá Wasmund MBE and Elite Business have announced the return of The Rise of the Female Entrepreneur (RISE), set for May 9, 2025, at London’s prestigious Cavendish Conference Centre. Building on last year’s success, RISE focuses on empowering women-led businesses, particularly £1M+ enterprises, to navigate the challenges of scaling and achieve sustainable growth.

Unlike events aimed at startups, RISE is tailored for established female entrepreneurs seeking advanced strategies, access to financial backing, and high-level networking opportunities. It has evolved into a movement, fostering collaboration and creating pathways for women to build scalable businesses and generational wealth.

Key features of this year’s event include keynote speeches, practical workshops, a pre-event virtual session with Wasmund, and access to The RISE Exchange in January 2025. Supported by Elite Business and forward-thinking sponsors, RISE is committed to championing diversity and inclusion while addressing the unique needs of female entrepreneurs.

“Medium-sized businesses, especially those led by women, are often overlooked,” says Wasmund. “At RISE, we’re creating a space for ambitious women to scale and succeed.”
