The NORTH by Female Founder Collective
From the minds behind the Female Founder Collective, in partnership with Webex, comes THE NORTH — the first platform that puts the most influential women in business, on speed dial. Through our dedication to the Female Founder Collective, we found two truths and one lie. The First Truth: Women in business are busy. The Second: We exert a tremendous amount of our time on unpaid efforts — at both ends of the spectrum. Those at the top, struggle to find time to give back. While those making the climb, lack the time it takes to grow their expertise. And nobody’s getting compensated for either. The lie: There’s nothing we can do about it. Enter: THE NORTH, an initiative dedicated to establishing the true value exchange needed to support founding women in business across the spectrum of success. With one solve, established founders are financially rewarded for the value of their time, while future founders unlock immediate, immeasurable access to the resources they need to grow — and grow quickly. Our one shared goal: Powering us all to become the rich women we deserve to be. THE NORTH connects an influential roster of leading executives across multiple industries, with the future founders of tomorrow. In an initiative built to bridge powerful industry expertise and access, our platform allows tomorrow’s leaders to find and book one-on one time with the expert advisors, investors, consultants or short term project aid they need to answer their immediate business goals and needs. Each of the founders on our advisory board will donate two hours of their own time to the initiative, before being made available for paid consultation. To get in on all the riches that await — simply browse our book of advisors and set up a meeting as soon as today.
