Your event
Find the right talk.
Three signature talks
Who pays, who lasts, and how to grow with soul.
Talk 01
The Prevention Economy
Why the future of health will be decided by who pays, and what that means for founders and investors building what comes next.
From the forthcoming bookEveryone agrees prevention works.
Almost nobody is paid for it.
Sara started this work after losing her father to a preventable illness, and has spent fifteen years since building and advising the companies trying to change that. With her book forthcoming 2027 and a foreword by Lord Bethell, she shows where the money for keeping people well already sits, and why so little of it reaches the founders who could use it.
Your audience will walk away with
Follow the money
Healthy Nibbles went from Sara’s kitchen to £10m ARR selling healthier food to Transport for London, Vitality and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1. The buyer for prevention is rarely the person who gets healthier, and this is how to find yours.
Proof that sells
Clinical evidence gets a company funded. A buyer, a price and a signed contract get it to revenue, and this section closes that gap before the money runs out.
Why prevention stays invisible
Health systems are built to pay for illness, so the value of keeping people well never shows up on anyone’s balance sheet. This section covers what that means for where capital flows next.
They’ll leave knowing who pays, and how to ask.
Talk 02
Founder Health as Strategy
Why a founder’s health and resilience belong on the risk register.
The company runs on one person.
Who’s checking on her?
Investors diligence the product, the market and the cap table. Almost none of them ask whether the founder can last. Sara has built four companies and now chairs a room of founders working through the decisions that keep them up at 3am. She makes the case that a founder’s health is a business risk, to be measured and managed like any other.
Your audience will walk away with
Resilience you can train
What the founders who last do differently, week to week, when the pressure doesn’t let up.
The board’s question
How investors and boards can ask about founder health without overstepping, and why the best ones already do.
They’ll leave with a plan for the most important asset on the balance sheet.
Talk 03
Scaling with Soul
How purpose-driven founders achieve rapid growth without losing alignment, culture, or themselves.
Grow fast.
Keep what made it worth building.
Sara took Healthy Nibbles from a kitchen table to B Corp certification and a Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development, paying the Living Wage throughout. Purpose and profit pulled against each other at every stage. This talk is about how she made them pull together.
Your audience will walk away with
Margin with a conscience
How Healthy Nibbles took gross margin from 20% to 55% while running zero food waste systems. Purpose that pays its own way.
Who you stock is who you are
More than 2,000 products, with a deliberate weighting towards brands led by women and minority founders, and what that choice did for the business.
Culture at speed
Holding on to values while hiring fast, raising money and saying yes to large customers.
They’ll leave knowing growth and purpose can share a plan.
