For Founders & Members
FoundHER & FundHER is a curated networking community in Los Angeles for ambitious women founders, investors, executives, and operators. We host monthly founder lunches, intimate salon dinners, and e-learning events designed to build meaningful relationships, unlock capital opportunities, and create real business momentum — not transactional networking.
FoundHER & FundHER is for women who are actively building — founders scaling companies, angel investors and VCs seeking aligned opportunities, executives expanding their networks, and creatives and operators growing their influence. If you are a woman who believes powerful relationships create real opportunity, you belong here.
FoundHER & FundHER is not a traditional networking organization. Unlike referral groups, mixers, and large networking events, our founder lunches and curated dinners are designed to create meaningful relationships, strategic introductions, referrals, and business growth opportunities for women actively building and scaling companies in Los Angeles.
Attendees include women founders, CEOs, operators, angel investors, executives, and business owners from Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Orange County, and surrounding Southern California communities. Many attendees are actively growing businesses, leading teams, raising capital, or expanding into new markets.
FoundHER & FundHER is designed primarily for women actively operating businesses. While some founders may be in the early stages of growth, the community is focused on action, traction, leadership, revenue generation, and meaningful business relationships rather than business ideation.
Each founder shares who she is, what she is building, and what support she is seeking. The event includes facilitated introductions, a founder resource spotlight, and the signature Connection Exchange, where attendees give and receive referrals, introductions, resources, and opportunities.
The Connection Exchange is the signature FoundHER & FundHER process that helps women founders create meaningful business outcomes during every event. Participants exchange referrals, introductions, resources, collaboration opportunities, and strategic support before leaving the room.
No. Food & Philosophy Dinners are curated, application-based experiences designed for women founders seeking deeper conversations, stronger relationships, and strategic connections in an intimate setting.
FoundHER & FundHER currently serves women founders across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, with expansion planned throughout Southern California, including Pasadena, Orange County, Santa Monica, Irvine, and beyond.
FoundHER & FundHER brings together founders from technology, consumer products, wellness, professional services, media, finance, education, ecommerce, hospitality, and other growth-oriented industries.

We do not offer guarantees or free trials — the value of FoundHER & FundHER is rooted in the quality of relationships, the caliber of the women in the room, and your own participation and engagement.
