THE STARTUP LADIES STAFF
The Startup Ladies team builds and operates the platform that connects founders, investors, and executives in meaningful ways. We design programming, cultivate partnerships, and create opportunities that help women-owned companies move from early traction to scalable growth and access to capital. We regularly work with emerging professionals who want to be part of this work and gain real-world experience inside a growing startup ecosystem. Want to intern with The Startup Ladies?

We execute big visions.
ADVISORY BOARD
The Startup Ladies Advisory Board is a group of experienced founders, executives, and investors who help shape the future of our organization as we build a stronger pathway between women-owned companies and the capital they need to scale. Advisory Board members bring firsthand experience in building, funding, and growing companies. They work alongside leadership to ensure our programs reflect real market expectations, strengthen founder readiness, and position our members to successfully engage with investors and strategic partners.
As we continue to evolve into a more robust capital and connectivity platform, the Advisory Board plays a critical role in expanding access and opportunity. Board members help open doors, facilitate meaningful introductions, and contribute to a growing ecosystem designed to move more capital into the hands of women founders. Their involvement ensures that our work is not only mission-driven, but also grounded in execution, aligned with the realities of the market, and focused on outcomes that lead to scalable growth.
We position women-owned companies to be fundable and funded.
