Femalefoundersrise Opiniones 28

Honestly one of the best communities I've found since starting my business. The friendships are real, the support is genuine, and I've built work relationships I'm really proud of. If you're a founder looking for a community that actually shows up for you, this is it!

This community encourages a generous spirit, where founders support and promote each other. It's a refreshing approach to networking.

I attended my first FFR event last night and was more than impressed with the speakers as well as the attendees I had a chance to meet. It was authentic, refreshing and inspiring. I look forward to future events!

18 months in and I can’t speak highly enough of Female Founders Rise. TLDR: there is no downside to this community.

In a startup world buried in hype and hustle, FFR is rare: human, joyful and radical in its optimism. No gatekeeping. It is built around women without ever feeling cliquey or dumbed down, and that matters more than I can say as a solo female tech founder.

The connections I’ve made are lasting. From my Raise cohort, I now have a WhatsApp group with two fellow founders. A year on, we’re still voice-noting each other most days. Having proper, unvarnished, truthful peers to check in with is a lifeline.

Emmie’s energy and authenticity set the tone. Dan Bowyer is a gem too: frank, wry and compassionate, with a completely open VC perspective. Exactly what I needed.

When it is genuinely hard not to lose hope as a woman founder, FFR gives it back.

Wholeheartedly recommended.

I started working with Female Founders Rise in 2023 and have been an active member ever since. I’ve been inspired by the incredible way they have scaled as an entrepreneurial community filled with members with generous minds. Emmie and the phenomenal team put so much thought and care into every detail. It is magic seeing women move from isolation to collaborative empowerment. Members are so kind and supportive. Emmie has built a really strong culture and community.

This was a fantastic accelerator to be part of. I gained so much from the programme and raised a healthy F&F round ahead of a pre-seed priced round. Thanks to Emmie, Dan, and Lea for the excellent structure and content taking us through building a pitch deck and pitching to investors. It built my foundation for the fundraise and boosted my confidence to succeed! Thank you!

I first came across Female Founders Rise through their LinkedIn posting challenge, and I'll be honest — I struggled with it at the time. But something made me go back to it, and when I did, it clicked. I now post regularly and actually know why I am posting and what i'm posting, with my clear goals insight.

From there I went on to join Cohort 6 of the Raise accelerator, which has been brilliant. It gave me a real understanding of what investors are looking for — the kind of insight you cannot get from just reading about it. That has genuinely changed how I approach things.

What I did not expect was how much the community and the in-person events would matter. Being in a room with other female founders who are going through the same thing has done wonders for my confidence. I came away from every event feeling more ready to get out there and back myself.

The people behind it make all the difference too. Emmie, Dan, Lèa, and Shakira are brilliant — helpful, warm, and genuinely invested in seeing you succeed. You never feel like just another founder on a programme.

If you are a female founder at any stage of your raise, FFR is worth it.

Love the community focus, radical generosity and bespoke programming of this network! Founder values through and through

I've been a member of FFR's B2B chapter for well over a year now, and it's consistently been such a great resource. The network is amazing, everyone is always helping each other, and the in-person events always leave me feeling energised as the vibe is just always so friendly and supportive. I've also gained new client work and formed fantastic partnerships, so it's been a valuable practical resource for my business too.

I can't recommend FFR more highly, a great network, essential resources and events that you don't want to leave,

I have been a proud member of the Female Founders Rise community since early last year, and joining their cohort program has been one of the best decisions I’ve made on my founding journey.
The depth and quality of information you walk away with from the cohort alone is truly powerful. It’s the kind of knowledge that shifts your perspective and accelerates your growth in ways you simply don’t find elsewhere.
What truly sets Female Founders Rise apart is the ecosystem they’ve built around their members. From regular networking events that connect you with other incredible female founders, to expertly curated masterclasses, every touchpoint is designed to be impactful and actionable. It’s groundbreaking, and I don’t use that word lightly.
If you are a female founder who is looking for a community that genuinely invests in your success, look no further. I cannot recommend Female Founders Rise enough, they have been an absolute game changer in my journey, and I will champion them every chance I get.

The most inspiring group of women led by the most supportive group of women. The connections made via FFR have led to investment, speaking opportunities, media coverage, partnerships, friendships and a few hangovers! The positive ripple effects from FFR spread far and wide. I can’t recommend Emmie and her team highly enough!

Such an authentic community to be part of! Well thought out events and despite the size, a very personal approach to how the community grows and is curated.

Very informative and supportive. FFR has been incredibly helpful in the early stages of my founder journey.

Despite being in business for almost 30 years fundraising was something I have never had to do. We were floundering in a sea of paperwork and pitch decks with no clear direction. A post appeared in my timeline on LinkedIn as if by magic and we applied. It has been an absolute game changer for us. The support, advice and community is incredible. We have learnt so much and it’s now given us the confidence to pitch to investors and the knowledge to handle the pesky paperwork!

The Female Founder Rise community is incredibly uplifting. I would recommend it to any female founder looking for support and community. As a solo founder I found it especially useful!

I’ve met some of my favourite work friends through the FFR events. The vibe is so human and friendly - it never feels like ‘networking’. I highly recommend getting involved!

Emmie and the team do such a great job at putting events on that matter and supporting female founders. Every FFR event I have been to I’ve met wonderful supportive people - the community that has been built is one of the best

Female Founders Rise consistently delivers great events and workshops. The women in the room are the kind of people you actually want to be around. Well worth visiting an event or joining the group.

A wonderful group of interesting, inspiring, driven, cool women. Support is always there when you ask. Lots of opportunity for you to help each other find your ideal clients.
