Female Founders! Would you benefit from a supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs, founders and experts to support your business growth?
The Female Founders Initiative is more than a programme – it’s a movement. Led by female founders, for female founders, we’re here to inspire, enable, and empower women from all backgrounds as they start, grow, and scale their businesses.
With University of Warwick vast ecosystem, industry partnerships, and a network of incredible speakers who’ve been in your shoes, we’re creating a thriving community that offers you real, tangible support.
We talked to founder Emmaline Vaughan Ronson, and programme manager Zoe Mobberley about the needs of women trying to start and scale their business.

As a founder it’s always challenging, as a female founder, it’s another level of – hurdle you have to try and overcome. I am currently looking for investment to scale and to move my business into the next phase and the benefit of spaces like this is, that when we come together as a community, that network is there, and you can find those pathways and that is what’s so enlightening.
There are so many women out there that perhaps have an idea, or always wanted to run a business, but not had the connections, the community, the knowhow on what to do next – What makes us different here with the Female Founders Program at Warwick Innovation District, is the amazing access to the university. We have so much expertise, we have so many resources that you can’t get elsewhere.
The Female Founder Start-Up Initiative is a collaboration between The University of Warwick and NatWest, specifically designed to support female founders of start-up businesses in the West Midlands.
