About the Campaign
f:Entrepreneur is a campaign that highlights inspiring female business leaders across the UK. Through events, content, and storytelling, f:Entrepreneur showcases role models to help and inspire all small businesses. Small Business Britain is on a mission to increase the number of female entrepreneurs from its current 20% to 30% by 2030 – and the f:Entrepreneur campaign and all female entrepreneurs are pivotal to that. The f:Entrepreneur campaign is now in its ninth year of championing incredible female entrepreneurs and sharing their stories with press, policy makers, and all entrepreneurs who can be inspired by their achievements. In 2018, the campaign launched the Female Founders List showcasing women from all over the UK who are living the Female Founders’ Life a new approach to the “portfolio” career, taking on many roles, achieving in many different spheres of life, and demonstrating that women are paving a new path for what entrepreneurship means. Since its launch, the f:Entrepreneur campaign has seen a significant growth in entries, reach, press coverage, and awareness each year. The ever-evolving f:Entrepreneur community is at the heart of the campaign and is filled with collaboration, support, friendship, and inspiration.
What the Female Founders List Offers
Each member of the Female Founders List is showcased on f:Entrepreneur’s website and all social media platforms. There are exclusive monthly events for members to attend and opportunities to host events, speak on panels throughout all of Small Business Britain’s campaigns, as well as dedicated press and PR support. These opportunities raise the profile of the entrepreneurs, giving them a greater voice and access to policy makers in order to contribute to key issues impacting female business owners.
Why This Campaign Matters
The f:Entrepreneur campaign addresses the underrepresentation of female entrepreneurs in the UK, where only 20% of entrepreneurs are women. By showcasing role models, providing networking opportunities, and amplifying the voices of female founders, the campaign aims to inspire more women to start and grow businesses, and to create a more supportive ecosystem for female entrepreneurs. For female entrepreneurs across the UK, this campaign offers:
- Recognition and visibility for your business
- Access to a supportive community of like-minded women
- Opportunities to network with policy makers and influencers
- Press and PR support to raise your profile
- Events and training to support business growth
