Future Females

We exist to support the success of female entrepreneurs, globaly

Future Females was founded by Lauren Dallas and Cerina Bezuidenhout in August 2017 in Cape Town, after seeing the systemic lack of female representation in entrepreneurship and in the existing incubator, accelerator and funding programs that support founders. They wanted to build a platform where female entrepreneurs can connect, be inspired and inspire and feel supported to create, to fail and to win.

The Future Females team now exceeds 200 contributors globally, united by a shared belief that to drive change through technology and entrepreneurship, we cannot have just 50% of the world focused on it. More focus is needed to accelerate the success of aspiring and existing female entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, and Future Females aims to drive that focus.

OUR MISSION

Our big, hairy, audacious goal is for everyone in the world to be a Future Female – committed to and living by the Future Females manifesto.We aim to increase the number of and success of female entrepreneurs & intrapreneurs, by breaking down the barriers to access the resources they need to be successful. We will be the go-to destination for the key resources (community, inspiration, education, support) that women need to achieve massive things. Future Females will provide a space – physically, digitally and emotionally – where women can be empowered and supported to create, to fail and to win. Our community operates in line with our five key values – collaborative, inclusive, give first, community-driven, take action.
