      Unbreakable Spirit

      Lets recognize our own light, and become empowered to use it.

      At CXXO, our core purpose is to educate, empower & invest in emerging women entrepreneurs on their leadership journey. We enable them to be part of communities to exchange ideas, find inspiration and forge meaningful connections.  Our firm conviction lies in the idea that when women come together, they can shatter any ceiling!

      ‘No Ceiling Summit’ is a CXXO initiative that celebrates efforts and achievements of women changemakers. It is an intimate gathering of female founders, investors, and leaders from our vibrant startup community.

      Last year, the event was packed with captivating stories, involve audiences, networking, fine food and building friendships. The full event round up can be found here.

      This year the theme is “Unbreakable Spirit”. We spotlight the journeys of women whose unwavering determination enables them to overcome barriers and unleash their full potential. Through our collective narratives, we intend to find moments of deep reflection, draw inspiration, and create new relationships.

      We delve into thought-provoking questions that demand conversations. How do we maintain unwavering resilience in the face of challenges? How can we discover strength within our communities? What tools do we wield to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? And what actions can we take when the weight of the world feels overwhelming?

      Let’s come together to celebrate the Unbreakable Spirit of women, renew connections, get inspired and make lasting memories!
