Hey 👋
I've been quiet for a few weeks.
Not because nothing was happening because too much was, and I'm not the type to send you an update that says "exciting things coming soon" with absolutely nothing behind it.
So I waited until I had something real.
& here it is.
What I’ve been building
I want to tell you about PitchSlap’s New Platform. (Name Pending….)
In simple form: it's a tool built for female founders who want to raise through equity crowdfunding but either don't know where to start, don't have time to figure out what actually works, or have been burned enough times by the fundraising process that they're over it.
The concept is simple. Take you from "I think crowdfunding might be for me" to fully raise-ready in under 6-12 weeks.
What I’m not doing
I want to be upfront about this because I know you've heard it before.
I started building PitchSlap as a cohort. Weekly sessions, group calls, a structured programme.
Annnnddd then I scraped it.
Because I kept hearing the same thing from founders, and honestly after the 15th time, I couldn't unknow it.
You've attended the accelerator.
Sat through the cohort.
Done the workshops.
Made it to week 12.
Got the certificate
You went home with zero investors, zero raised, and a Canva slide deck nobody asked for.
And the programme moved on to the next cohort
I've heard this story too many times. Founders spending months inside programmes that were well-intentioned but built for everyone, which means they were really built for no one.
PitchSlap is not a cohort. There is no group of random strangers at different stages where the support gets diluted by week 3.
There are no generic sessions that sort of apply to you if you squint.
It's built around your raise, your business, your timeline.
That's it.
Where we are right now
Week one in beta testing mode:
I have one founder currently going through the process. We're working through the system together in real time, which means I get to see exactly what works, what needs adjusting, and where the gaps are.
I'm being selective about who comes in next.
I'm looking for a small number of founders who fit a specific profile:
Revenue coming in, even if early. £5K–£10K+ a month.
Tired of waiting for VC to notice you.
You've heard of crowdfunding but haven't had the time, the right support, or the clarity to actually move on it.
Ready to own your raise publicly, not just think about it privately.
If that sounds like you, keep reading.
What this newsletter is from now on
I'm bringing you inside the build, heck might even need your help.
Every issue I'll share one real update from what I'm working on. What I'm deciding, what I'm learning, what's working, what isn't.
And alongside that, the crowdfunding knowledge I genuinely wish more female founders had access to.
No cushion or No filler typa content.
Just the true behind the scene insights…
One thing to do right now
If you're a founder who's been wondering whether crowdfunding is actually the right route for your raise, I built a free readiness quiz.
It takes under 5 minutes.
It tells you your score, where you're strong, and exactly where to focus before you go anywhere near a platform. No email wall. No sales call at the end. Just a straight answer.
Whether you're thinking about applying to work with me directly or you just want to know where you stand right now, the quiz gives you something useful either way.

Good to be back - More next week.
A few things before you go:
If you think you fit the profile and want to find out more about being part of our beta testing.
Take the quiz first. It'll tell us both whether the timing is right, if you are one of our team will be in touch with next steps.
And if you know a founder who's been sitting on this idea for months, forward this to her. She probably needs the quiz more than she knows.
Until Next Time…..
