Female Founders

The premier brunch series for female founders

No performative actions, no checking boxes, just great founders and operators coming together to connect, share best practices, and deepen relationships – they just happen to be female. We’re building THE event series that female founders and operators actually want.

Objectives
  • Connect female founders/operators both in and out of the Golden portfolio

  • Connect female founders/operators with leading executives/entrepreneurs/VCs

  • Develop a community where female founders/operators can have open and candid discussions
