We recently launched the Female Founders Directory to showcase over 300 service-based female founded businesses with the aim of helping companies diversify their supplier list.
Services include non-executive roles, fractional CFO and marketing, HR, marketing agencies, PR firms, accounting, coaching, consulting, and professional development.
Research by The Rose Review shows that if women started and grew businesses at the same rate as men, it could add £250 billion to the UK economy. Female Founders Directory aims to increase the number of successful, long-term, profitable women-owned businesses by making it easier to support female founders.
The directory helps female founders gain visibility, networking opportunities, and insights to secure investors. In the future, it will expand to include product and technology businesses too.
Why did we launch Female Founders Directory?
Female Founders Directory was created to support women-led businesses by:
- Encouraging companies to diversify their supplier list
- Encouraging people to buy from female-owned businesses
- Helping female founders get hired for their professional services
- Facilitating collaborations between female founders
