The Female Founder Growth Programme

Our Female Founder Growth Programme blends interactive workshops, personalised one-to-one coaching, and invaluable peer support: all focused on empowering our members to discover their unique path to sustainable growth.

We’ve partnered with Real World Consultancy to develop and deliver this exciting programme across Birmingham, Leamington, and soon to be launched in Worcester too. What’s more, we aim to have each cohort funded by local organisations, meaning it’s completely free for The 51% Club members to take part.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we have built a programme that addresses personal, professional, and business development for a well-rounded and impactful experience.

Female Founder Growth Programme – Birmingham Cohort 1

Tara Lawrence, Founder of B.13

“This programme is all about helping you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. If you’re not sure what “where you want to be” looks like, it helps you explore your thoughts, gain new ideas and perspectives, and connect with an amazing support network.”

Following our initial pilot in Birmingham in 2024, we are currently delivering the programme in Leamington.

We will soon announce the next programme, which will be open to our members in Worcestershire.

The criteria to apply is simply that you are:

A female-founded or female-led business
A UK registered company or sole trader
Able to commit to weekly masterclasses for the duration of the programme

Across 8 or 12 consecutive weeks, our experts will lead a series of practical workshops, inspiring discussions, and advice-driven exercises. Our Female Founder Growth Programme covers four main areas:

Phase 1: Clarity
Thinking BIG and exploring where you want your ambition to
take you and your business.

Phase 2: Empowerment
Providing you with everything that you need to build and maintain
a sustainable business; from finance advice to personal branding.

Phase 3: Personal Development
As the founder, you are crucial to the future success of your business,
so here we explore everything from mindset to productivity.

Phase 4: Future Planning
As we come to the end of the programme, this is where we map out the
next three months, and ensure you have everything you need to succeed.

“I have loved the programme and the thing that has been brilliant for me is being meeting a group of ambitious, supportive women. It’s a programme that is not intense and also allows you to see where parts of your business needs support. It’s nurturing and you get a chance to learn from others.”
