Female Founder Collective presents

Your Business Safety Net

"Cabinette is more than just a network; it's a powerful community of ambitious female founders. What makes it so impactful is the trust and willingness to share openly. It's truly incredible to be in a space where you can share your biggest challenges and know there's a fellow founder in the group who is an expert on that very topic, ready to share her insights and tips.”

— Heidi Zak, Co-Founder & CEO, Thirdlove

A message from

Ali & Rebecca

( the founders )

Do you ever wish you could run your business with a true safety net… something that would let you leap with reckless abandon, knowing that you could never fall? Ever wish you could take risks the way men so unabashedly seem to, without the chatter of hesitation?

Now you can, because no matter what, we will catch you.

We’ve always wanted to lead from a place of luck versus lack, and so we created it. Enter: The Cabinette—your secret weapon of a network that has the answers, the support, and the webbing underneath you as you walk the proverbial entrepreneurial tightrope.

We started FFC with one clear mission: to make women richer.

And with The Cabinette, we’re throwing extra support at founders closest to the finish line, where generational wealth is within reach.

This isn’t just dinner—it’s ignition.

  • An intimate evening around the table, where stories turn into connection

Expert Session *virtual

It’s time to step out of the weeds and into your highest role.

Month 03

In-Person Gathering

Connection deepens when the conversation continues.

  • An in-person dinner or local meet-up where familiar faces start to feel like real support
  • Space to share what’s moved since kickoff—the wins, the friction, the moments that surprised you
  • Priorities are revisited and small course corrections are made in real time, with people who already know your context

This is where conversations get easier, and the quiet relief of “you too?” starts to set in.

The Cabinette has been an exceptional experience that delivered real value. The access to a curated group of high-performing female founders created a powerful network for strategic insights, talent referrals, and support through complex leadership and board challenges. Beyond the practical benefits, it offered a community where vulnerability was welcomed and authenticity was celebrated which I found is an environment that’s both rare and essential for founders looking to grow with confidence and clarity.”
— Lisa Odenweller, Founder & CEO, Kroma Wellness
