The community you build alongside becomes the business you build.
The Collective is the private membership behind Womansplain, where 2,000+ female founders trade intros, splits, deals, hires, and the parts no one talks about.
BUILT BY FOUNDERS, FOR FOUNDERS.
THE REALITY OF BUILDING
Being a founder is the hundreds decisions a day, most of them you make alone.
You've got the idea, the grit, and the late nights. What you don't have is a room where you can ask the questions out loud.
How do I price the next round without burning the cap table?
Who's actually good at PR for a brand at our stage?
What do I do when a co-founder is checking out?
Which retailer should I take the meeting with?
Is this term sheet normal or am I being squeezed?
Where do I find a fractional CFO who gets early stage?
How do I actually hire my first ops person?
Who can introduce me to the buyer at Sephora?
You don't need another newsletter.
You need the roomwhere you've already done it.

Built by two women in finance who couldn't
find this room, so we built it.
Brooke and Sola met at Wharton over a shared passion for early-stage investing and community. We both started out our careers in finance and have collectively spent 20 years in the industry.
We spent two years interviewing 60+ founders on the podcast, hosting oversubscribed dinners, and building the network. The Collective is what we wished we'd had when we started without the gatekeeping, the price tag of Chief, or the noise of generic founder Slacks.
This is the membership we'd pay for ourselves.
