So What Do We DO About It?

In 2016 we created the Fellowship For Female Founders, a 6 month+ program to support women from the New England area looking for their 1st outside capital (Angel, SBIR, Equity Crowdfunding, Revenue Based Financing, VC & More) to get the support they deserve.

This fellowship helps them Own Their Story, Own Their Numbers and Own Their Network so they can confidently OWN THEIR RAISE.

” TCN events provided a great introduction to the world of angel and venture capital investment in Boston. Each event was extremely informative, breaking down intimidating topics in an accessible way while providing a natural environment to meet investors and fellow entrepreneurs. The Pitch Workshop and Pitch Practice were the most helpful, not only for helping me craft my pitch but also for getting direct, one on one access to investors which was a great way to start building those relationships.”
