About us
Women Founders Network (WFN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides education on entrepreneurship and investing to women and girls. Through our annual Fast Pitch competition, we provide access to capital, visibility, and mentoring for female founders. Our Startup Fundamentals webinars and community networking events offer valuable resources and connection opportunities for female founders. Since 2013, WFN and its members have awarded and invested over $1.9M in women-founded companies and alumni have gone on to raise over $250M in funding. We hope to inspire the next generation of women entrepreneurs and investors through our Due Diligence Analyst program for university women and our Junior Venture Capitalist program for girls in grades 9-12. Our Annual Fast Pitch Event takes place in October. Female founders: Learn more and apply for the Fast Pitch at www.WomenFoundersNetwork.org from April 1-May 31.

WFN is excited to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of our Jr. Venture Capitalist program! Launched in 2014, it was formerly known as the Jr. Judge program and began with 11 girls. This year, we have 65 young ladies plus another 27 in our online-only program! Stacey Feinberg (pictured with the girls) has been a sponsor and leader in the program for the past 8 years. Her dedication and enthusiasm for educating and inspiring these young women is incredible. Thank you, Stacey! We are grateful to Antares Capital for generously donating funds to provide scholarships for more girls to participate in the program.
