The Female Founders Network has officially launched in the UAE, offering a bold new space for ambitious women to connect, grow, and build the business of their dreams.
Founded by seasoned entrepreneur and community builder, Nicki Bedford, the Female Founders Network is more than just a business network; it’s a thriving ecosystem of support, strategy, and sisterhood. From early-stage founders to established CEOs, Female Founders Network brings together a powerhouse of women who are ready to shake up the business world, one breakthrough at a time.
“Entrepreneurship can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to be,” says Bedford, who brings over 15 years of experience across tech, media, and advertising, including her previous role as Head of Asia Pacific at BuzzFeed and the launch of multiple ventures like “Seizen” and the “She Leads the Way” podcast. “I created the Female Founders Network to offer a space where ambitious women could find not just community, but momentum- a place to connect, grow, and be unapologetically driven.”
Whether launching a startup or scaling the next big idea, Female Founders Network offers the tools and community to help female entrepreneurs grow. Members gain access to a collaborative community of like-minded entrepreneurs through curated events, meetups, and a private WhatsApp group. The network offers monthly strategy sessions, expert-led workshops, and exclusive resources across topics like AI, PR, and business modelling to support real growth. With wellness at its core, Female Founders Network champions both personal balance and professional success, ensuring founders are supported, inspired, and equipped to thrive.
Membership starts at AED 235/month with access to online workshops, resources, and community calls, while the VIP Tier (AED 485/month) includes free access to events at Google HQ Dubai, two to four in-person sessions per month, and exclusive VIP-only brainstorms.
“Our goal is simple,” says Bedford. “To help more women build businesses that are bold, successful, and sustainable and to make sure they don’t have to do it alone.”
