Female Founders Rise 💥| Advisor | Mum of 4 | Digital + Media + Marketing | Exited Founder

I'm on a mission to make entrepreneurship more accessible.
I set up my first business at 25, and since then, I have successfully set up, grown and sold multiple companies (and had a few failures on the journey too!)
Entrepreneurship is what I love.  

Most recently, I’ve been focused on Female Founders Rise [FFR] - a community of 10K female and non-binary founders 
>> https://femalefoundersrise.com/

I’m also a micro-investor in 30 women-led businesses, a speaker, and co-host of The Fundraising Grind (a podcast about helping you get your business funded with my friend Mae Yip)

At FFR, our mission is to empower women to achieve financial freedom through entrepreneurship.  

We do that through 4 pillars:

➕ Community - we come together for connection, collaboration, and support.  Being a founder can be a lonely journey, and we want to be there for each other

➕ Funding - we've launched Cohort 4 of our fundraising accelerator - a free 8-week program to help 60+ female founders at a time on their fundraising journey

➕ Business Fundamentals - we run regular sessions and masterclasses on all things fundamental to growing a successful, sustainable business

➕ Awareness - we celebrate female founders and help them share their voices.  So far 700+ women have taken part in our personal branding challenge

We have partnered with brands like London Business School, Lloyds Bank, and Google, and hosted events for 100's of women all over the UK.  We have been featured in The Times, Sifted, and Forbes.

Come and join us on our mission 👉 femalefoundersrise.com


Why do I care?

I want the same opportunities for women entrepreneurs as their male counterparts. 
When I heard about the funding gap, I was shocked and decided I'd try and do something about it.  
In the last few years, I have found my "Why" and a great deal of joy from being around so many incredible women doing amazing things.

Hi, I'm Ruth, I’ve got nearly 20 years experience building the brands of tomorrow- from start-up to scale up, launch to acquisition, I've helped U.S brands enter the U.K market and grown brands here from scratch too. 

Some of the brands I've worked for or with: Popchips // Vitaminwater // Simply Roasted // Bold Bean
Some of the brands we've worked with at Tomorrow Brands: Driscoll's // Bragg ACV // Freja Bone Broth 

I specialise in challenger brands and am especially interested in BFY or sustainable brands and want to see more of these brands in the UK, which is why we started Tomorrow Brands, a consultancy that helps the purpose-driven global brands of tomorrow succeed in new markets.  Starting here in the UK. 

I'm a total FMCG nerd- I love new brands, love rebrands, love all the innovation and creativity in the Food & Drink industry 

I also host a podcast all about brand building, and do some angel investing too 

Some nice things people have said about me (for more check out my recommendations below)

'Ruth is a legend in the game' 
'Ridiculously talented & a pleasure to work alongside' 
'Creative, instinctive and honest'
