Who We Are
FoundHers began at the 2025 International Women’s Day Conference, where over 400 women gathered with one thing in mind: breaking barriers and building bridges.
What started as a one-day conference turned into a community that seeks to embolden every female founder to speak.
Here, women entrepreneurs, creators, and founders join to have their voices heard, their ideas developed, and the future of leadership shaped.
We believe that every woman has an important message, and the world is willing to hear it, so we embolden you to speak!
