– FEATURE –

Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Found & Flourish platform.

As an organisation, our ambition at Found and Flourish is to close the opportunity gap for female founders. We endeavour to do this by uncovering the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs and shining a light on them. 

Our editorial mission is to provide refreshingly honest and insightful stories about life as a female founder that will help our readers to be inspired, well-informed and ultimately feel part of a community. Honesty and warmth is at the heart of our content, we want everyone to feel welcome, supported and valued.

We also value the time and attention of our readers, so every post must be written to the benefit of the reader.

With this in mind, we look for contributions that address the experience of being a female founder and embrace the diverse journeys each of us are on. We look for content that leave the reader or listener with an idea or specific knowledge to help them on their own journey to build their business.

Here is the list of topics that we cover:

• PR & Branding
• Digital Marketing & Social Media
• Sales & Negotiation
• Leadership & Personal Development
• Money & Fundraising
• Business Strategy
• Business Accounting & Legal
• Wellbeing & Mental Health
• Diversity & Inclusion
