Female Founders and Funders Builds a More Direct Capital Room

The distance between a promising founder and the right investor is often not measured in miles. It is measured in access, context, and whether the room was designed for a useful conversation in the first place.

Female Founders and Funders is bringing that conversation to Luminary in New York on August 5. Presented by Fierce Foundry and hosted by Melissa Wallace and Natalie Boykoff, the approval-based gathering is designed for female founders, experienced investors, emerging angel investors, and selected service providers.

Why This Room Matters

Generic networking events tend to create volume. Curated founder and funder rooms can create relevance.

Fierce Foundry is approaching the event as an opportunity for founders to meet potential backers and for investors to discover ventures they might not encounter through their usual networks. That matters because early fundraising is shaped as much by trusted introductions and repeated exposure as it is by a polished deck.

The structure is intentionally simple: cocktails, conversation, and a focused audience at Luminary. There is no oversized agenda competing with the reason people are attending.

Who Should Attend

The gathering is most relevant for female founders actively building or preparing to raise, investors looking for new deal flow, and people beginning to explore angel investing. Registration is separated by founder, investor, and service-provider ticket types, and each request is subject to approval.

Female Founders and Funders takes place Wednesday, August 5, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM EDT at Luminary, 1204 Broadway, 4th Floor, New York. Request a ticket through the official event page.
