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.

⭐️Founder | Passionate about improving maternal mental & physical health, through education, digital nature, exercise & meditation.🌳🧠🧘🏾‍♀️❤️ Mother | Speaker | Mental Health First Aider | Autism advocate 💚

Founder of MAIA - The Matrescence Empowerment Programme | Supporting working mothers & helping organisations improve retention, wellbeing and performance

I’m Lucy, a founder, speaker and maternal wellbeing specialist helping organisations better support women through pregnancy, maternity leave and return to work.

After navigating my own matrescence while supporting a child with a rare medical condition and another with autism, I saw first-hand how invisible and unsupported motherhood can feel - especially at work.

I created MAIA, a B2B maternal empowerment programme built on education, support and community, helping new mothers thrive and helping employers retain talent, reduce burnout and build inclusive cultures.

I work with HR leaders, People teams and founders who want to support mothers properly - not just tick a policy box.

I’m also proud to be recognised as a f:Entrepreneur Top 100 UK Female Founder (2026) by Small Business Britain.

📩 DM me or book a call to explore MAIA.
