WELCOME
I am delighted to welcome you all to St. James’s Palace for the Good
Growth Summit in partnership with Pitch@Palace.
I would like to congratulate all the Founders and CEOs, at whatever
stage you might be on your start up or scale up journey. It is particularly
encouraging to see so many female entrepreneurs driving UK commerce
forward. From my own business experience, I do not underestimate the
courage and conviction required to succeed and offer my support as
we collectively work to create a more gender balanced environment for
innovation.
I would like to especially welcome our guests from Silicon Valley who are
here to share their experiences and to forge new relationships with our
incredible talent in the UK. Having worked in both New York and London,
I appreciate the importance of strong networks and role models and I
encourage all of you to make the most of this opportunity.
I hope you find the afternoon insightful and you make some useful new
connections to help power your businesses forward.
HRH Princess Beatrice
2WHAT IS
GOOD GROWTH?
Growth is ultimately a means of survival and advancement. By dictionary definition;
growth is the process of increasing in amount, value or importance and/or
developing physically, mentally or spiritually.
How to define good growth?
When we crowd-sourced your opinion, good growth overwhelmingly represents
growth that sustains us both economically and emotionally:
• ‘Sustainable growth in every sense of the world - economic, human,
environmental...’
• ‘Financially viable, scalable growth’
• ‘Growth oriented for long term success’
• ‘Responsible growth with strongly diverse representation.’
Positive impact also features heavily; as a collective we have a strong desire to build
with purpose and to contribute to our people and environments:
• ‘Having a constructive impact on society while also building a great business’
• ‘Positive consistent growth that combines profit and social good.’ ‘Creating
an example of economic growth balanced with good (social impact,
responsible tech), not solely pursuing growth at any cost.’
Flexibility and adaptability is another priority you reported, the ability to grow
according to market conditions and need:
• ‘Taking advantage of a changing environment to adapt and grow, consistent
with a core mission’
• ‘Scaling to the needs and demands of market while uptaking technology
innovations’
• ‘Having a business that is able to meet a growing customer need.’
Whilst we might each have an individual definition of what good growth means
to us, as business leaders we are united in our responsibility and mission to
promote long term economic prosperity that benefits us all, equally.
To me, good growth is winning...
but not at the expense of anyone.

INTRODUCTION
TO SVC2UK
We are thrilled to welcome you to St James’s Palace today.
When SVC2UK was founded thirteen years ago, we not only wanted to inspire entrepreneurial
growth within the UK, we also wanted to fuel and champion diversity within our own ecosystem.
Out of this mission, the Good Growth Summit was born.
Whether you join us today as a first-time founder, serial entrepreneur or industry leader; we are all
united in our passion to advance female entrepreneurship and be the change that will boost the
global economy to $5 trillion.
As London and Silicon Valley stand at the forefront of the global tech ecosystem, they share as
many growth opportunities as challenges when it comes to promoting and empowering diversity
and inclusion. Today, we gather to change the narrative around entrepreneurial success as we
break down barriers that exist across the ecosystem. The connections you make, the stories
you hear and the advice you receive is all designed to fuel your personal and business growth.
Together, we will rebalance the gender divide, change the world for the better and become role
models that inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs.
Today, we reinforce the narrative around good growth as we demonstrate that diversity in
entrepreneurship expands our potential both as individuals and as a collective.

SCALING A BUSINESS
Drawing on their experiences of scaling start-ups into global
businesses, our speakers will share their secret sauce on
how to ignite and manage growth - addressing topics from
funding, building diverse teams to building a brand.
RAISING FUNDS WITH CONFIDENCE
Today we benefit from Dana Kanze’s years of research
into why female founders are treated differently in investor

more confidently approach investors as we fundraise.
MOMENTS OF TRUTH

of a critical decision they made in a 3-minute story before
