Meaningful outcomes for female founders

I have not only grown Persi's brand awareness, but also secured £420k of my round and invaluable partnerships for our route to market! I cannot advocate FFR's Personal branding challenge enough in mapping out my 'why, how and what' for my LinkedIn content and cadence, whilst also supporting my journey in both finding and building my personal brand.

Persi
Thanks to FFR, I connected with a wonderful new client who reached out for some HR support. She was a joy to work with—efficient, straightforward, and clear about her needs. The whole process was seamless, and it was great to see how the B2B membership helps foster meaningful business connections!
Katie Feagan
Talent Tent
The insights, best practices and tangible tools have been so accessible. I have leveraged and implemented them to help our fundraise and have already been successful as a result - received a term sheet during the final accelerator session!

As Seen In

What FFR members have to say

I’ve never experienced a community like it. A simple ask on the WhatsApp group or LinkedIn sparks so much support from hundreds of women. If you're a female business owner, you need to be part of Female Founders Rise.
Jas Schembri-Stothart
Co Founder - Luna
The FFR community has been truly transformative. It has connected me with inspiring women—women I can serve, collaborate with, and even call my business partners. Being part of this community has changed my life.
Ozlem Tuskan
Founder - The Resilient
FFR is more than just a community; it’s a powerful support system. Whether you’re just starting out or already running your business, there’s something here for every female founder—resources, advice, opportunities, and, most importantly, a circle of women who genuinely cheer for each other.
