Female Founders Lunch | November

✨ Female Founders Lunch: From Idea to Audience! ✨

Have a business idea but not sure if anyone will actually pay for it, or how to get people to even notice it? 💡 This month’s Female Founders Lunch covers both sides of the early-stage journey: testing your idea fast and cheap before spending a cent on development, and creating content that makes people stop scrolling and start paying attention. 🚀

Whether you’re sitting on an idea, about to sign an agency contract, struggling to stand out online, or just want to connect with like-minded people, this lunch is for you! 💡

📅 When: 09.11.2026
🕛 Time: 14:00-16:00
📍 Where: Startup House Riga 2.0

🎤 Our speakers:

✨Rita Larina, Co-Founder, Lumias
Talk: Before you pay an agency: the boring way to test your idea

Through one real case, a beauty-industry founder with a €20k grant and a feature list fit for a €100k platform, Rita will show how the same idea could be built in a week for under €50 using website builders and ready-made software. 💸 You’ll learn how to turn “people liked my idea” into a testable hypothesis, fake a €20k platform with an €18/month tool, and know when it’s time to write real code.

Rita co-founded Lumias, a product studio behind CalcuCare that builds lean MVPs for founders. As a former technical project manager, agency side included, she knows exactly how a €20k quote comes together, and writes about it in The Lean Stack on Substack.

✨Zeyneb Savran, Social Media Manager & Content Creator, Riga TechGirls
Talk: From scrolling to stopping: how to create content that makes people pause

We scroll past hundreds of posts a day, yet only a few make us stop. 📱 Zeyneb will break down what makes them work, from content pillars and storytelling to good vs. bad formats and viral formats that boost your views.

🎨 You’ll learn how to attract the right followers, not just more of them, and turn a passing scroll into real attention. 🎯

For the past year, Zeyneb has been the voice behind Riga TechGirls’ social media. Coming from a mix of countries, backgrounds and cultures, she brings a fresh perspective on what makes different audiences stop and engage. 🌍

💫 Let’s bridge the tech gap and shape the future of diversity in tech together.
