Emmie Faust — Founder
I'm on a mission to make entrepreneurship more accessible. I set up my first business at 25, and since then, I have successfully set up, grown and sold multiple companies (and had a few failures on the journey too!) Entrepreneurship is what I love. Most recently, I’ve been focused on Female Founders Rise [FFR] - a community of 10K female and non-binary founders >> https://femalefoundersrise.com/ I’m also a micro-investor in 30 women-led businesses, a speaker, and co-host of The Fundraising Grind (a podcast about helping you get your business funded with my friend Mae Yip) At FFR, our mission is to empower women to achieve financial freedom through entrepreneurship. We do that through 4 pillars: ➕ Community - we come together for connection, collaboration, and support. Being a founder can be a lonely journey, and we want to be there for each other ➕ Funding - we've launched Cohort 4 of our fundraising accelerator - a free 8-week program to help 60+ female founders at a time on their fundraising journey ➕ Business Fundamentals - we run regular sessions and masterclasses on all things fundamental to growing a successful, sustainable business ➕ Awareness - we celebrate female founders and help them share their voices. So far 700+ women have taken part in our personal branding challenge We have partnered with brands like London Business School, Lloyds Bank, and Google, and hosted events for 100's of women all over the UK. We have been featured in The Times, Sifted, and Forbes. Come and join us on our mission 👉 femalefoundersrise.com Why do I care? I want the same opportunities for women entrepreneurs as their male counterparts. When I heard about the funding gap, I was shocked and decided I'd try and do something about it. In the last few years, I have found my "Why" and a great deal of joy from being around so many incredible women doing amazing things. ------- 👋 Follow me for daily posts on entrepreneurship, female founders, and my journey investing in women-led businesses. 👉 Join Female Founders Rise free and connect with 10k female founders >>femalefoundersrise.com Curated resources, fundraising support, business fundamentals + connection 👉 Find Female Founders Rise on LinkedIn >> https://www.linkedin.com/company/female-founders-rise/ ------- For paid consultancy/speaking engagements, please enquire at hello@femalefoundersrise.com
