FFinc

What FFinc does

FFinc is a UK-based women's association and growth network founded in 2020 by CEO Tamara Gillan, originally launched as The WealthiHer Network and subsequently rebranded to FFinc to reflect a broader mission spanning confidence, health, family, and business. The company operates a community-led ecosystem serving ambitious women and female founders through four integrated programmes: the FFinc You Annual Membership (priced at £175/year, with promotional pricing of £125), flagship events The F World (London and Manchester) and The FFinc Awards (London, October 2026), the FFinc 50 List spotlighting 50 individuals and organisations shaping the future of business, and the Forward Faster Accelerator — a six-month outcomes-driven programme targeting UK female-founded businesses with £1M+ revenue, supported by a 'Driving Forces' mentorship initiative of exited founders.

FFinc is not a technology company; it has no proprietary software platform, no mobile app, no API, and no AI capabilities, operating instead as an events, content, and community business. Its product surface is delivered through a WordPress-based e-commerce website (ffinc.co), an online application portal for the accelerator, and in-person event experiences at premium venues including The Bulgari London, The Corinthia, and Soho House. The business monetises through individual membership subscriptions, event ticketing, corporate partnership sponsorship, and accelerator programme fees, with secondary customer segments including corporate organisations seeking diversity and inclusion programming. The company has built relationships with core partners HSBC, BGF, Block, Wilson Sonsini, Grant Thornton, and AXA, alongside champion-level supporters including Thrive Partners, Streets Consulting, and McDermott Will & Emery. Operations are UK-only, with a headcount of 11–50, and the company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.

Direct peers

• In Good Company: Membership community for women leaders and founders offering masterminds, events, and content. Direct peer to FFinc's flagship membership and events ecosystem for high-achieving women.
• Ellevate Network: Global professional women's networking community with membership tiers, local chapters, and events. Comparable to FFinc in mission (women's career advancement via network), though broader geographically.
• Chief: Private membership network for senior women executives featuring peer groups, events, and curated programming. Comparable to FFinc in serving ambitious women via a high-touch, paid-membership community model.
• The Wing: Women's co-working and social club concept offering members workspace, events, and panels. Conceptually comparable to FFinc's women-focused community and events proposition, although now restructured.
• AllBright: London-based members' club and digital network for professional women offering events, mentoring, and learning. Closest geographic and conceptual peer to FFinc, also targeting ambitious UK women with a premium membership model.

Emerging players

• Female Founders Fund: Venture fund and community backing female-founded businesses. Overlaps with FFinc's Forward Faster Accelerator in serving female founders, though as an investor rather than a membership network.
• Ada Ventures: UK-based impact-led VC with a focus on under-represented founders including women. Adjacent peer to FFinc given its UK footprint, female-founder mandate, and overlap with FFinc's accelerator capital partners (e.g., BGF).

Broad incumbents

• Founders Factory: Operator-led accelerator and incubator backing early-stage founders globally. Comparable to FFinc's Forward Faster Accelerator in format and founder-development focus, though more tech-centric and not women-exclusive.
• Vistage: Large peer-advisory and executive coaching membership organisation for CEOs and business leaders. Comparable to FFinc in the membership/community + advancement services model, though not women-specific.
• YPO (Young Presidents' Organization): Global peer network for chief executives offering forums, learning, and events on a paid-membership basis. Comparable to FFinc as a high-touch executive membership community, though broader in audience.
