Female Founder Wins
This month, we saw three new graduates from the Founding Females® Business Bootcamp, a 6-week intensive program guiding women through the process of starting and growing a business.
✨ Congrats to Taylor Leontios, Lee Ann Porter, and Janelle Reeb!
Here’s what Janelle had to say about the Business Bootcamp:
“I went from not having a business to making my first sale, I learned a lot about the process and journey of developing a business that can be an asset to develop wealth, not just an income. The resources, networking, encouragement and accountability were key to keep me moving forward. I'm excited!”
Founding Females® will host one more cohort in 2024. Interested in more info? Click below for more Business Bootcamp information.

Hi, I’m Francie!
Nice to meet you. I’m the founder of Founding Females®. Some call me a business sage because I love to empower female entrepreneurs to breathe life into the business dreams God called them to.
After feeling like a misfit in the corporate world, I discovered a life I loved waking up to through business ownership.
I’m the author of Dream, Build, Grow: A Female’s Step-by-Step Guide for How to Start a Business, a guided journal helping hundreds of women start and grow their businesses.
I’m also a passionate entrepreneurship hype girl, female leader, public speaker, and community enthusiast.
My MBA and 10 years in a corporate career and in business ownership positioned me as an entrepreneurship educator with forward-thinking strategies for starting and growing successful businesses.
As a community leader, I realized other women could thrive with the right guidance and support. I created the Founding Females® Mastermind Community that provides a safe space for women to build better businesses.
I believe that anyone with a dream on their heart can pull up a seat to change the world through entrepreneurship. Looking to grow your own business? Click for info about how to work with me.
