Our story

By Women.
For Women.

W35 is the community we wished existed when we were starting out. A founder-first space where women at every stage can access the inspiration, connections, and support that took us years to find the hard way.

We built W35 because the journey shouldn't be a solo sprint and the best founder networks shouldn't be gatekept.

We run intimate, high-signal gatherings with real conversations, equip you with the tools and skills to level up, open doors to top mentors and ecosystem builders, and help you network on your own terms.
