Our Mission

Our mission is to build an ecosystem where women entrepreneurs can achieve economic power – financial freedom to fund their dreams, occupy decision-making positions or build a successful business that makes an impact

Who We Are

Foundertable is an initiative of Rise & Lead Women and Ebere Akadiri, connecting female founders with vetted resources and advisors to help them grow and scale a sustainable and profitable business. From early-stage business development programs to accelerator programs to networking events- we connect founders looking to leverage technology and innovation to launch and grow an impactful business.

Why Founder Table?

Women are starting businesses more than ever before. More women are choosing the path of entrepreneurship to own their power, live their dreams and achieve financial freedom.

However, studies show that women founders are overworked, underpaid and underfunded, leaving many women mentally and physically stressed and financially broke. We believe that empowering women entrepreneurs will help drive gender equity and innovation.
