SheVentures 2026: The Courage Edition
Early Access for Our AwakenHub Members
SheVentures is back and this time, it’s all about courage. The courage to build, to back, to lead, and to take up your full space as a woman founder or funder on this island and beyond.
Before we open the doors to our wider community, we’re doing what we always do first: looking after our own. That means AwakenHub Private Members are getting first access to the island, the rooms and the conversations that will shape SheVentures 2026: The Courage Edition. Check your inbox now
Why a members-first launch?
AwakenHub was created to be a home for women founders and their allies a place where you are not the only woman in the room, not the odd one out, and definitely not an afterthought. SheVentures is the live, in‑person expression of that mission.
Our members have been showing up all year: at monthly calls, in the community, in our programmes and pitch sessions, and in the quiet, unseen work of building companies in every corner of the island and across the diaspora. Giving them first access to SheVentures is our way of saying: you are the beating heart of this ecosystem, and we see you.
What members get in this early window
During the members‑only launch, AwakenHub Private Members have access to a strictly limited allocation of all‑inclusive island tickets at a discounted rate. For this members‑only launch, we’ve unlocked special AwakenHub Member pricing on our all‑inclusive island tickets. The full details – including your unique booking link and rates – are in your inbox, so make sure to check your email and secure your place from there.
The Member package Includes:
- 2.5 days on Lusty Beg Island, from 7–9 June 2026
- Two nights of on‑island accommodation, so you can wake up in the heart of the action
- A full meal package (no scrambling for food or trying to find a café between sessions)
- Access to the entire SheVentures: The Courage Edition programme – mainstage sessions, workshops, fireside chats and more
- A seat at the Monday night gala dinner with 250+ women founders, funders and allies
This is your chance to be in every room, for every conversation – not just watching highlights on social media afterwards.
Why “The Courage Edition”?
Courage is the through‑line for 2026.
- Courage to launch and grow businesses in uncertain times
- Courage to ask for the capital you actually need, not the minimum you think you’ll get
- Courage to say yes to visibility, to ambition and to bigger stages
- Courage to back other women – as mentors, peers, angels, partners and champions
Across the island (and far beyond it), we see women founders and their allies taking bold, often quiet, courageous steps every day. SheVentures: The Courage Edition is designed to meet that energy and amplify it.
What to expect on the island
Without giving everything away just yet, here’s a taste of what members can look forward to:
- Mainstage moments with global and local voices who are building, backing and championing women‑led ventures
- Cabin deep dives – smaller sessions where you can ask the un‑Googleable questions and hear candid stories from founders, funders and operators
- Investor and founder circles that create real connection, not awkward “networking”
- Space to think – walks, water, and a bit of magic that only happens when you step off the mainland and onto an island with people who get it
And yes, if past years are anything to go by, we’re quietly optimistic about the SheVentures sunshine too – in the sky and in the room.
For members: this is your moment
If you’re already an AwakenHub Private Member, this early access window is your best chance to secure your spot on the island at member rates, before we release tickets more widely. Think of it as:
- An investment in your headspace – 60 hours away from the daily noise to think bigger and braver
- An investment in your network – founders, funders and allies who understand what you’re building
- An investment in your next chapter – whether that’s a new market, a new product, a new raise, or simply a renewed sense of courage
