Networking for business

Connecting for business is something that I always recommend to my clients as part of their marketing strategy and activities.

During 16 years of operating networking groups, from being the founder of WIBN (a business network for women), running groups to launching online groups for female founders, I’ve met so many women who were inspiring to me and others, women who I could not possibly have met, unless they were looking to extend their own network. Our worlds overlapped. I am still in touch with many today.

‘Founders Connect’ has been developed as a natural ‘add-on’ service, however it has a very different purpose to the Founders Club.

‘Founders Connect’ has been created for women who have outgrown traditional networking groups but understand the importance of surrounding themselves with good quality contacts, women who are also striving to develop and grow their business. Founders who do not want to be ‘sold to’ at meetings but they do want to meet other women in business who have founded their own business to have meaningful conversations, conversations that could develop into business relationships and opportunities in the future. Solid, respectful and beneficial relationships (for both parties).

‘Founders Connect’ is not a traditional networking group, it’s a connections club. There is a big difference. There is no selling,
no self-promotion or expectation of referred business. There is no ‘monthly minute’ to deliver to a room of people, but there is a series of private 1:1 conversations in break out rooms (great for introverts), where you can get to know each other, explore similarities and identify where businesses align on both values and clients.

Women like to talk. They like to get to know each other. At Founders Connect there is no exclusivity of profession because there is no room (or reason) for competition. Conversations can open the door and potentially lead individuals to work together. Growing your network is an asset for your business.

What’s different?

‘Founders Connect’ is different because it is a ‘curated’ group of women. Each individual founder will be ‘met’ and screened personally by me before attending their first meeting. If they have a similar approach to networking and not seeking ‘sales’ from it, they will be invited to attend a meeting.

There is no membership fee, it is a low cost ‘pay-as-you-go’ format.

The sessions are monthly, by Zoom, so if you can make it come along, whether on a monthly or ad-hoc basis to suit your diary and commitments.

Who attends?

We attract female founders who are looking to develop their ‘inner circle’, curate their own ‘go to’ team of quality and trusted individuals, and grow their contact list.

So if you are looking for collaborations and longer term opportunities (not quick fixes and sales), you will be looking in the right place when you decide to join our growing list of founders who are involved regularly with ‘Founders Connect’.
