Female Founders Rise (FFR) is a UK-based, certified B Corporation and community of over 11,000 female and non-binary entrepreneurs. Founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur and angel investor Emmie Faust, FFR is on a mission to help women build profitable, long-term businesses and close the gender funding gap. FFR operates across four pillars: getting more women funded, building business fundamentals, raising awareness of female entrepreneurship, and building community and connection. What members get access to: The Fundraising Accelerator: a six-month programme with an intensive eight-week cohort, investor access, pitch practice, and ongoing support — designed for founders actively raising or planning to raise investment. The B2B Chapter: a membership for founders who want to build a business pipeline through referrals, partnerships, and curated networking within the FFR community. Summit Series: high-impact full-day events in London, Cardiff, and Manchester featuring workshops, investor panels, and reverse pitching (where investors pitch to founders). Expert Masterclasses: practical, outcome-focused online sessions covering fundraising, AI, marketing, branding, and business fundamentals. The Rise Report: one of the largest grassroots studies of female founders ever conducted in the UK, based on research from 2,225 founders representing £1 billion in annual turnover. FFR is backed by sponsors including Barclays, Shoosmiths, and Founder Catalyst, with academic partnerships with Nottingham Business School and London Business School.
