Hustle Up Podcast - Episode 12 - Gaia Beck (Cocktails & Converstion, ChippingIn and London Represents)

Gaia Beck is a business powerhouse, who started out selling used cars and discovered that business is all about giving people what they want. She then moved into Film PR gaining a sense of excitement from the events industry.

Gaia worked with all of London's most exclusive nightclubs before she started Cocktails & Conversation, a London dating events and networking company now so popular that even couples now want to attend. Known for its black-tie events and masquerade balls, Cocktails & Conversation holds exclusive events for hundreds of guests.

Under the name London Represents, Gaia now also runs fashion shows which promote diversity using a range of models and independent brands, with half of all proceeds going to the charity Bullock Inclusion.

Last year she also launched Chippingin, a platform she developed with her son and a co-founder to help children crowdfund for toys, presents, charities and more, by raising funds from friends and family.

Gaia previously ran a conference aimed at getting more black women into the tech industry, and is passionate about more female and diverse founders getting investment in their businesses.
