Female Founders and Funders Builds a More Direct Capital Room

The distance between a promising founder and the right investor is rarely measured in miles. It is measured in access, context, and whether the room was designed for a meaningful conversation in the first place.

Female Founders and Funders brings 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 create volume. Curated founder-and-funder gatherings create relevance.

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

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

Who Should Attend

The gathering is most relevant for female founders actively building companies or preparing to raise capital, investors looking for new deal flow, and individuals beginning to explore angel investing. Registration is divided into founder, investor, and service-provider ticket types, and every request is subject to approval.
