The membership for women running coaching, consulting, and service-based businesses who want more than a network. Real support from ambitious peers, not just another Slack channel you don't have time to open.
Apply NowYou know how most founder communities act like consultants, coaches, and therapists aren't "real" entrepreneurs? FWGAF exists so you never have to feel that way again.
This is a vetted community of women founders who've built businesses that look just like yours: service-based, solo or small team, focused on freedom and lifestyle instead of scaling to the moon.
What You Get
Gorgeous destinations, meaningful conversations, and the kinds of connections and breakthroughs that only happen when you step away.
Think destination getaways designed for real conversation, not networking bingo. Upcoming locations: Thailand and Portugal.
Get matched with a small cohort of vetted founders to help you build real relationships from day 1.
Curated groups of 4-6 founders at your level, facilitated by a connection expert so you skip the small talk.
Game nights, pottery kits, cooking classes, movie nights, and whatever else we come up with. These are the fun, interactive experiences that make this community feel like actual friends, not a networking group.
Hosted on Gatherly, where you can walk around and join conversations naturally, just like being in the same room. Not your typical Zoom call.
Intimate dinners in major cities. Gorgeous table, incredible food, people you'll want to stay in touch with.
Small, intentional dinners in cities like New York, London, LA, and Toronto. No pitching. Just connection over a great meal.
Live workshops with handpicked experts on the topics you care about.
You vote on the topics. We bring in experts on the stuff that actually matters to your business. Think pricing strategy, brand positioning, scaling without burning out, and whatever else you and the other members actually need right now.
This is a true community of likeminded founders, not just another Slack channel.
Every single member is personally vetted. No lurkers, no bystanders. Just founders who show up for each other.

Questions
Women who take their work seriously and their lives just as seriously. Some run established businesses. Some are leaving high-paying careers to build something of their own. All of them are here because they want real relationships with women who are doing the same kind of work and are just as capable, ambitious, and driven as they are. Every single member is personally vetted before they're accepted.
Membership is flexible, because it's built for founders with full lives. There are frequent community events, dinners, workshops, and calls, but nothing is mandatory to attend (though we highly recommend attending at least 1 of our global conferences!) Like anything, the more you participate, the more you'll get out of your membership.
We host our community meetings on Gatherly, a platform where you can walk around a virtual room and join conversations naturally. It's designed to feel just like an in-person event. It's the closest thing to being in the same room, and our members are always genuinely surprised by how different it feels.
Most communities give you a Slack channel and hope for the best. We're designed with human connection at our core. Every experience is intentionally designed, and every touchpoint is face to face. No asynchronous online communities that just become another platform you need to check, or Zoom "social hours" where only one person can talk at a time. The difference is in the details, and you'll feel it from week one.
Because the quality of the room matters more than anything else. We're looking for service-based business owners and professionals-turned-entrepreneurs who are generous, thoughtful, and serious about building real relationships, and tired of showing up to rooms that don't match where they are. We keep the bar high so that every woman you meet in this community is someone worth knowing.
That's actually a plus! Our membership is designed for women who enjoy the location freedom that comes from being a founder. Membership is designed to flex around your life. Plus, in-person dinners and conferences in major cities and beautiful locations around the world mean travel is baked in (and gives you an excuse to make your plane tickets a tax write-off ).
Don't worry, this isn't a sales call. It's a short, genuine conversation to learn more about you, what you're looking for from this community, and whether we'd be a great fit for each other. Think of it like a coffee chat, not a pitch. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you, and we encourage you to do the same.
Show up, participate, and see what the community has to offer. If it doesn't feel worth it within your first 60 days, we'll refund you in full. We're that confident in the experience, and we only want people to stay when they are genuinely excited and committed to the community.
If this page felt like it was written for you... it was. Welcome to the room that was built for women founders just like you.
