Welcome to the official launch of Female Tech Founder Communities – a space to share and find digital communities for female tech founders.
I created this website to help keep track of the countless communities I have explored as a female tech founder. After countless more conversations with other women looking for the same communities, I realized I had tried out more than most – and that many women just don’t know where to look! While I found many to be lacking and none to be perfect, my preferences are my own. I think each and every community is right for someone out there. I hope you find yours!
Look, I’ve tried. Building a community is (contrary to your clear opinion) very difficult and time-consuming.
And other women are already doing it!
Does this mean I think we should stop making new ones? Of course not!
Communities have a natural lifecycle, and I believe it’s unrealistic to expect them to hang around forever. They can only survive as long as the members are willing and able to put in the effort to keep them going. And people go through many phases of life that may cause them to step away from some communities and embrace other ones. It’s not bad, it just happens.
So go forth and create – and if you want some visibility, let me know!
I’d be happy to list your community here.
