Are you Ready to Raise?

We intentionally designed the Ready Set Raise accelerator program to address the unique challenges faced by women and non-binary founders; as a member of our second cohort, you will perfect your pitch, connect to investors, and be empowered by an entire community committed to your success.

A Startup Community for Women & Non-Binary Founders

Our mission is to accelerate the success of highly scalable companies founded by women and non-binary individuals. Our private online network is comprised of female founders and CEOs of scalable startups, and the community of partners that support us.

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% female founders of scalable startups
• Based in 25 cities across North America
• 92% run technology companies
• 40% raised angel or venture capital in their first year with FFA, from seed to Series B.
