Grow

For founders building towards their first million.

Everything you need to get there faster, connecting with women doing it alongside you.

Whether you’ve just launched or you’re past your first £100k, Grow is where you build the skills, confidence, and connections to take your business further. Every month, in every hub, you’ll find practical workshops, relaxed socials, and programmes designed for exactly where you are now.

What’s in Grow

Workshops

Practical monthly sessions delivered by founders and experts who’ve been where you are, on the things that move a business forward. Free for members.

Socials

Relaxed, regular evenings with no agenda and no hard sell. The easiest way to meet your people, and often where the best introductions happen.

Co-working

Regular days alongside fellow members in your local hub. Bring your laptop, get your head down, and do more than you would alone.

Female Founder Growth Programme

A free 10-week cohort programme for founders ready to take the next step, delivered with experts and partners who know what growth takes.

The Million Pound Ladder

Our framework mapping the seven revenue stages from £0 to £2m and beyond, the points where founders tend to stall, and what it takes to move up each rung.

Fortuna Fellowship 12m accelerator

A year-long pilot accelerator, delivered by Future Planet Capital Regional, supporting five high-growth female founders to raise investment and grow.

Find your local hub

We’re building a national network around local hubs. We meet in person across the Midlands and London, and each hub is run with ambassadors who know their business community inside out.

Where The 51% Club was born. Our home is The Wilmot, a beautifully restored building in the Jewellery Quarter, and the site where we offer co-working to female founders and leaders.

Ambassadors: Becky Benbow, Charlotte Bowden, Clare Radford, Krishna Ruparelia, Lily Samuels, Sana Saddique, and Yvvy Chideya.

1 Mill Street is our Leamington home, a vibrant co-working space in the heart of the action. With private offices, meeting rooms, and a podcast studio, this is where community really comes to life.

Soho Works is our London home, hosting us at both Shoreditch and White City.
