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.

We’re looking ahead to launching the fourth chapter of Founding Females® Meet Ups on March 5! Our newest Meet Up chapter will be hosted in Champaign/Urbana, or “Chambana,” as the local community calls it.

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.
