About this event

In a world where business innovation and social impact are increasingly intertwined, some of the most compelling entrepreneurial stories begin with a simple question: "Why does this inequality exist, and what can we do about it?"

Welcome to our exclusive fireside chat with Clara Lidman, the dynamic co-founder of RedLocker who have revolutionized how workplaces, schools, and public spaces approach menstrual equity. What began as a school project has evolved into the Nordic region's leading provider of free menstrual products, building a global movement supported by thousands. Their vision of menstrual products as a natural part of toilet environments—like toilet paper or soap—is reshaping societal norms while creating significant business opportunities.

In this fireside chat, we'll discuss:

  • Transforming a social justice mission into a scalable business model with global impact
  • How purpose-driven businesses can catalyze cultural shifts and policy changes
  • Building community and leveraging collective action to drive business growth
  • Strategies for approaching traditional institutions with innovative solutions
  • Navigating entrepreneurship as young female founders in a stigmatized space
  • Their journey from school project to Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition
  • The economics of period equity—and why it makes business sense

Whether you're a founder looking to build a purpose-driven venture, an investor interested in businesses that drive systemic change, a corporate leader considering workplace equity initiatives, or an entrepreneur passionate about turning stigmatized topics into normalized solutions, this conversation will provide valuable insights into building businesses that transform both markets and society.

The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd – Regional Director Nordics at Startup Grind, CEO at Connect East, CEO at SweBAN, Nordic Head for Founder Institute, Nutty Ventures, and Founders Live, and Founder of Brim – Brands for Impact.

👉 Register now to learn how these remarkable founders are building the equal society of tomorrow by addressing a basic human need that has been overlooked for generations—and how their approach to business with purpose offers lessons for entrepreneurs across sectors.
