Funded founders will share what is working right now as they build and raise, while early-stage investors offer a candid look at what they are backing from pre-seed through Series A. The goal is simple: create an intentional room where the right founders and investors can meet, build relationships, and open the door to real opportunities.

Get curated access to high-growth founders and active VCs building and investing at the early stage.

Why Attend: 

FFF is a tactical room, not a performative panel. Founders are here to build, raise, and scale alongside investors, operators, and allies ready to help. Walk away with real fundraising strategy, stronger investor relationships, and a network that opens doors.

Who’s in the Room: 

More than 1,000 attendees across five Silicon Valley events, with 150–300+ guests per gathering. FFF brings together a curated early-stage ecosystem, with 60–70% founders from early stage through Series A and 30–40% active investors, operators, strategic partners, and male allies. Every seat is intentional, creating high-signal rooms designed to help founders raise, build, scale, and form meaningful connections.

Funded Female Founders is a curated community that started in 2024, an event series, and summit mmit connecting female founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders across San Francisco and New York.

FFF x Inc. Magazine

We are proud to launch Funded Female Founders NYC in special partnership with Inc. Magazine, bringing national visibility to one of the most curated rooms for venture-scalable women founders, investors, operators, partners, and male allies. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to spotlighting the women building high-growth companies and creating more intentional access to capital, strategic relationships, and founder-focused conversations.

Female founders know what struggle is, but they’re also queens of improvisation, adaptability, and creativity. The women on Inc.’s annual Female Founders 500 list have the grit and poise necessary to make it in entrepreneurship and beyond. Consider that past honorees have included such game-changing leaders as Billie Jean King, Sallie Krawcheck, Serena Williams, Emma Grede, and Michelle Zatlyn—women who’ve all overcome much on the road to success.
