The purpose of Find a Female Founder.
The directory is a place for connecting people with service-based female business owners and solo entrepreneurs. Its purpose is to provide an easy way to purchase services, get support, hire and collaborate with female and non-binary-founded businesses in our network.
The directory showcases the expertise of over 200 service-based female founders in the Female Founders Rise community and continues to grow.
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. Find a Female Founder 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.
