We're going on the road! Access is designed to help founders move their business forward by fostering meaningful connections with the people and organizations that are most difficult to access for underrepresented founders.

Substance. Not Hype

We're a startup community of overlooked founders who are doers, not victims. Through our private founders network, investor community, and corporate partnerships, we provide programming intentionally built and consciously tailor-made for YOU.

Why We Exist

• Women own 29% of small businesses but only 5% of venture-backed companies.
• For every $1 of wages a man earns, a woman earns $0.79. For every $1 of venture capital a man raises, a woman raises $0.02.
• A woman is more likely to win an Oscar™ than raise venture capital.

Who We Are

• 100% women and non-binary founders of scalable startups
• Based in 30+ states across North America
• 92% run technology companies
• 40% raised angel or venture capital in their first year with FFA, from seed to Series B.
