Last week we held our Sky x BEO F100 Demo Day event. The businesses on our fourth cohort had the opportunity to pitch to a room of entrepreneurs and investors and talk through their business plans for the chance to gain up to £15,000 in funding. It was an incredible day full of excitement, ambition and joy and we look forward to announcing the successfully funded businesses soon... #F100 #F100GrowthFund #DemoDay #StartupFunding #BusinessPitch #FundingOpportunities #BusinessGrowth #InvestInStartups #SkyBEO

Thank you to everyone who came to the Private View of EmpowerHER’25: Creativity, Courage & Magical Thinking last night! We had a wonderful time spotlighting women’s artistic voices and experiencing the magic that can come out of nights like these: you showed us the beauty and power of creating spaces for creativity, community and connection— key tenets of our mission here at CasildART. The evening was electric, and we couldn’t have done it without all of you. Special thanks to @kromanti_rum and @hl_vodka for sponsoring the event and bringing the night to life, Shanaaz for keeping the ambience groovy and vibrant, and @sbellgam for an inspiring performance of spoken word poetry. And of course, thanks to the team, Imogen, Aislinn and Audrey for all their hard work and commitment leading up to the show. EmpowerHER’25 is officially open to the public! Book your tickets in the link in our bio— we can’t wait to welcome you. #womenartists #empoweringwomen #empowerher25 #magicalthinking #blackgallerist #contemporaryart #artcurators #londonartscene #londongalleries #IWDactivities #IWD25 #acceleratingaction #blackgallery #blackcurator
