SMALL CIRCLES & BIG IMPACT

At the heart of the Female Founders Alliance are small, confidential groups exclusively for women. These circles create a safe and trusted space where founders can share challenges, exchange insights, and support one another.

At the same time, female founders are also part of the broader Founders Alliance community, connecting with female and male experienced founders across industries in a culture built on give and gain, where members actively support each other’s growth and success.

This unique combination of small trusted circles and a powerful founder network provides both deep peer support and access to a wider ecosystem of experienced founders.

As all members you are also part of the female founders quest. Read more below.

At Founders Alliance, we know that building and leading a company takes vision, courage, and relentless drive. That’s why we created the Female Founders Quest - a platform where women founders gain access to knowledge, experienced peers, and a global network that can accelerate growth and scale.

Our members are typically founders of large-scale companies, often first-generation, main owners, and leaders across diverse sectors - software, health care, fintech, consumer goods, e-commerce, industrial innovation, food tech, social impact, and more. They are driven by growth, creating impact for their companies, employees, and industries.

Membership usually requires:

Principal ownership and leadership in a company with at least €2M in revenue, or
Having previously built such a company and now acting as an investor or active owner.

EXEMPTIONS FOR FEMALE FOUNDERS

We recognize that potential and value can’t always be measured in revenue. Female founders who bring unique insights, expertise, or experiences - from prioritized industries, regions, or backgrounds - are encouraged to apply, giving you access to our knowledgeable and experienced founder community, even if your company hasn’t yet reached €20M in revenue.

WHY JOIN?

This is your chance to exchange, grow, and connect with other founders who are leading, scaling, and shaping the future of business.
