You’re part of a historic wave—almost half of new US businesses in 2024 were founded by women. Yet too many of us still hit funding ceilings or struggle to find the right networks to scale. That’s exactly why we built this Tech Cohort—with every session and connection crafted to flip those stats in your favor.
Here are a few key market insights that drive our mission:
Surge in new founders:
In 2024, 49% of new businesses were started by women (up from 29 % in 2019), signaling an expanding pipeline of female entrepreneurs poised to disrupt the tech landscape. Gusto
23% share of VC capital:
Companies with at least one female founder captured 23% of total US VC funding in 2024, more than double their 9% share in 2008—and deals involving women founders now represent over 25% of all VC transactions. Fast Company
Funding Momentum:
Female-founder teams raised $38.8 billion in VC in 2024—a 27% year-over-year increase, demonstrating rising investor confidence. Venture Beat

with practical tools, real-time feedback, and space to make progress alongside peers and mentors
who’ve done it before
WEEK 1: Founder as Operator

"Out of all the various collectives and memberships that I've learned about in the past year, FFC and the 10th House is by far the most buttoned up with the most solid group of members, mentors, and speakers. The speakers are so relevant and full of substance. Furthermore, Carli and Avary also do such a nice job doing as much as they can to help the 10th House Members. It's refreshing to join a group of like-minded women who do what they say and say what they do."

"10th House is more than just a community—it's a source of inspiration, collaboration, and opportunities. I felt very alone in my founder journey until I joined this group, where I met individuals who have helped me thrive both personally and professionally. From the best community builder, I could ask for to clients who are now dear friends, the networking opportunities and invaluable training on scalability and funding have significantly developed me as a founder."
Ari
"Being part of the 10th House has truly transformed my founder's journey. The in-person events, in particular, set this community apart, offering unique opportunities to forge deep, genuine connections with fellow women founders across various industries. These face-to-face interactions have not only expanded my network but have also enriched my entrepreneurial experience, making 10th House an invaluable part of my growth and success."
