Built for the women they don't see as founders.

Finally, a community for founders like you.

If you're running a coaching, consulting, therapy, or service-based business, you already know: most founder spaces weren't designed with you in mind. This one was.

You Want Real Peers.
You'll Find Them Here.

You've tried the Slack channels with 10,000 strangers. You've been in rooms where the first question is "have you raised?" This isn't that. We built a community for coaches, consultants, therapists, and service-based founders who actually give a f*ck.

Every Founder Space Acts Like You Don't Belong.

You've built a real business, but you miss having peers who truly understand you.

Founder Spaces Don't See You As A Founder

You've walked into communities built for people raising rounds and scaling to exit. They've made it clear they don't think your business counts.

Your Loved Ones Don't Get It

Your friends are proud of you but don't get it. Your clients need you to be the expert. There's no one left to be honest with about the hard parts.

You're Successful, But Something's Missing

You built this business for freedom and fulfillment. But recently, you've started wondering if this is it. You can feel there's something missing.

I've Been Where You Are

There Was No Room For Founders Like Us. So I Built It.

When I was running my 3rd business, I hosted 60+ sold-out events, went viral on TikTok, built a community of 10,000+ people, and got covered by national media. It was my first truly successful solo business.

But the founder spaces I tried out were full of people playing a completely different game, who didn't consider events to be a "real" business. My friends were supportive, but they didn't get it. I couldn't find any rooms that were built for founders like me.

In the end, I shut the business down. I didn't want to scale, because I knew that path meant less freedom and more headaches. And I didn't have the support I needed from likeminded founders to keep going, and see what the next chapter of that business could look like instead.

I know what it feels like to be proud of what you've built, and the loneliness of being the only person who understands your business. And I know that the thing that finally changed everything for me wasn't a course, a book, or a strategy. It was finding the right people.

That's why I built this. So you don't have to figure it out alone.

Community Like You've Never Experienced Before.

Every founder community you've tried has been the same. Either they throw 10,000 people in a Slack group and call that "community," or they say they're for founders but don't take your business seriously if you haven't raised venture capital.

Welcome to the room that was actually built for you.

Who It's For
This community is for women running coaching, consulting, therapy, and similar service-based businesses. We're specific on purpose. If that description fits you, everyone in this room already understands your world.
How It's Built
When we say community, we mean community. Not networking, not a bloated Slack channel, not Zoom calls where you're staring at 50 tiny screens. Every experience is face-to-face, intentionally small, and designed by a human connection expert to help you build real relationships.
Why It Works
Because you're not explaining your business model to people who don't get it or entering another room full of founder bros speaking over you. Here, every single woman understands what it took to build what you've built, and what it's going to take to get to what's next.
Without Your People

Building Alone Will Keep Costing You.

Building alone keeps costing you: wrong turns, missed opportunities, and time you won't get back.

There's a better way
With Your People

Finding The Right People Changes Everything.

With the right people, you make better decisions, move faster, and actually enjoy building.

Is Founders Who Give A F*ck Right For You?

We're for you if...

You're a woman running a service-based business.

Coaching, consulting, therapy, strategy, fractional work, etc. You sell your expertise and you ARE the business.

You're tired of building alone.

You don't have coworkers. You don't have a leadership team. You miss having people who are in it with you, at your level, who you can actually think out loud with.

Your business is profitable but you're feeling stuck.

The business works. That's almost the problem. You know there's a next chapter but you can't see it from inside the day-to-day.

You're ambitious and you need a challenge.

You've always been a high achiever, and you thrive most when you're building toward something new. You're excited and ready to tackle your next challenge.

You want freedom, not scale.

You're building a business that gives you your life back. Your priority is time freedom, location freedom, and work that doesn't require you to be in it every single day.

You actually give a f*ck.

You're generous, empathetic, and real. You show up for other people, not just yourself. You don't fit with the 'do anything to get ahead' founder crowd.

We're not for you if...

You're still figuring out the basics.

If you're still validating your idea or figuring out how to pay yourself, this isn't the right room yet. This community is for founders who have moved past the early stages.

You're chasing scale at all costs.

If your goal is building the next Google, raising rounds, and hitting headcount milestones, there are rooms for that. This isn't one of them. The founders here chose freedom over scale on purpose.

You want a network, not a community.

If what you want is business cards, referrals, and LinkedIn connections, there are a thousand groups for that. The women here are building real friendships, not just a contact list.

You're disrespectful, bigoted, or exclusionary in any way.

This is a safe space for women founders to share openly and receive the respect we're not always afforded in other rooms. TERFs, racists, homophobes, and any form of hatred have zero place here.

You're not ready to invest in yourself.

This isn't free and it isn't casual. The women here invested because they're serious about growth, connection, and showing up. We need you to be, too.

Ready?

Your people are waiting.

It's time to find them. Once your application is approved, start with our Founder Friends experience ($497) or go all-in with the full FWGAF membership ($5,000/year).
