What came of it

A June 2021 interview quoted Carli Sapir crediting Female Founded Club with helping female founders raise millions of dollars; the claim was self-reported and no measurement method was supplied. Separately, Brooke Sinclair’s unverified profile credits her with sourcing more than 30 startups in February 2020; this is an individual’s reported activity, not an audited program-wide outcome.

How to go about it

  1. Read what it asks for

    Who can apply, how people get in and whether it is open right now.

  2. Have something to show

    Programs pick people whose work they can already point to. Put yours where it can be found.

  3. Apply the way the program asks

    This one invites people; you cannot apply cold. The way in is work the program can already point to, and the people its own pages name.
