The Financial Blind Spots Most Female Founders Don't Know They Have

Your personal finances sit on the to-do list, somewhere between the urgent and the important, and somehow never quite make it to the top.

The problem is that the years you spend building your business can quietly cost you more than you realise. The pension contributions you are not making. The income protection you do not have. The way you are paying yourself that might not be as tax-efficient as it could be. These are not small things, and most founders only find out about them when it is too late to fix them easily.

This session is here to change that.

Lucy Wayment is the co-founder and CMO of Welleness, the AI-powered financial wellness platform built by women, for women. She spent nearly a decade in fintech and insurtech before founding Welleness because she had lived these exact gaps herself. Joining her is Lizzie Goswamy, a qualified financial adviser with over a decade of experience helping women take control of their financial futures. Lizzie specialises in working with women navigating self-employment, maternity leave, divorce and the bigger financial moments that the traditional advice industry was never really built for.

Together, they are bringing the conversation that most female founders need to have but never quite get around to having.
