our STORY
CASH & ROCKET was founded by entrepreneur Julie Brangstrup in 2011 to create a community of influential, female leaders in their industries united by the goal to use their influence to help each other and others.
Named after Julie’s son and godson, the name CASH & ROCKET represents the urgency and determination to raise funds quickly for meaningful causes. In just nine events, CASH & ROCKET has raised over £4.7 million for our charity partners and grown to 2860 members.

JULIE BRANGSTRUP
Julie Brangstrup is a Danish entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience, events, and entertainment. She began her career at Morgan Stanley in the Private Clients division. In 2000, she co-launched VITAVIVA, a Danish health supplements company, and in 2001, she co-founded the Gumball 3000 Group and played a pivotal role in its growth, overseeing five companies under the group and achieving a valuation of £120 million by 2006.
As a successful female entrepreneur and mother of six, Julie recognised the security, love, and encouragement that she was able to receive and give and wondered how things might be different without the resources and support that she had. This led to the creation of CASH & ROCKET in 2011 to bring women together as a catalyst for good through a unique lifestyle experience.
“I wanted to revolutionise the landscape of how women talk about the social and economic problems facing women, mothers, and children on a worldwide scale. The CASH & ROCKET Tour unites women of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities and professions, but for four days we stand together as one voice. “We can achieve more together, than we can alone.” – Julie
