Owning a business is no easy task. But imagine running four successful businesses before the age of 30.
Grace Beverley is the 28-year old entrepreneur, podcaster and social media star behind a multi-million pound empire.
Since building fitness app Shreddy as a student at Oxford, Grace has gone on to launch and scale activewear brand TALA - raising more than £5mn in funding in the process.
Basically, she knows what it takes to build brands that actually matter!
Now she’s shaking up the creator economy with Retrograde, an AI-powered talent agent that’s revolutionising brand deals.
Join us for an intimate dinner with Grace in Lisbon as we dive into:
✅ Balancing career ambition with a busy personal life
✅ The fight to close the gender funding gap, and why it matters
✅ Why she’s pulled back from being an influencer despite her huge reach
✅ And her social content strategy for upcoming creators
