The Underground Female Founders Collective

The Underground Collective is a private brunch series created by founders for founders – who just happen to be female. You can think about it like the anti-social social club for leading founders. No performative actions, no checking boxes, just f*cking good founders and operators coming together to connect, share best practices, and deepen relationships.

With the help of a few of our incredible portfolio founders – Nuha, Co-founder & CEO of Erthos, Emily, Founder & CEO of Rebelstork, and Shelby, Founder & CEO of Arteria AI – We’re building THE event series that female founders and operators actually want.
