Cate will bring to the table all of her insight from her background in banking as well as her experience founding Luminary, a community and coworking space that she built with her own money. To date she still hasn’t taken any outside funding and maintains 100% control of her business, meaning she gets to call the shots. Cate is passionate about sustainable business funding and believes all women should have the ability to build profitable businesses that don’t rely on investors. In a world where female founders are still so underfunded and a month where so many are claiming to celebrate women - we are digging deep into what the business world can be doing better to stop the lip service and start to fund women fully.
