Dreamers & Doers

What Dreamers & Doers does

Dreamers & Doers is a privately-held, bootstrapped curated membership community for female entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and corporate leaders, founded in 2013 by Gesche Haas and operated through Wyoming LLC Trailblazer Ventures, LLC. The company sells access to a rigorously curated paid private collective of roughly 600 members sitting inside a broader 30,000+ woman ecosystem, with quarterly referral-gated cohort admissions and a stack of bundled services including the proprietary PR Hype Machine™ (24+ curated media placements, podcast, and speaking opportunities per member per year with partners such as Nasdaq, Girlboss, Motherly, Business Insider, BlogHer, HearstLab, Economic Insider, and Her Agenda), 100+ curated events per year segmented for 6/7/8-figure revenue leaders, a Circle-hosted members-only community with password-protected Member Directory, and 1:1 monthly matching plus small-group masterminds.

The technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS — Circle for community, Wix for the public website, Typeform for membership applications, Airtable/Google Sheets for internal data, Awesome Table/Pory for the Member Directory display, Mailchimp for email, and Stripe/Chargebee/PayPal for subscription billing — with no proprietary platform, no public API, and no mobile app. Revenue is 100% subscription recurring: $2,800/year or $875/quarter, with a ~30%-off sponsored tier ($1,960/year or $588/quarter) for marginalized founders, plus a one-time $100 reinstatement fee. The company is profitable, has raised no outside capital, and reached ~7-figure ARR over more than a decade; on June 5, 2026 it was acquired by Magical Teams (Christina Salerno) via an SBA 7(a) loan, with AI tools used only to support the acquirer's due diligence rather than within the core product.

Direct peers

• Girlboss: Girlboss is a women-focused career, content, and community brand targeting ambitious women and founders. Overlaps with Dreamers & Doers on mission, demographic, and content/community delivery, though Girlboss skews more media-first and less curated than D&D's referral-only collective.
• HeyMama: HeyMama is a private membership community for working mothers in business, offering curated events, peer connections, and member resources — overlapping with Dreamers & Doers on the private-community-for-women-in-business positioning, with a narrower (mothers) persona focus.
• Chief: Chief operates a private paid membership network for women executives and senior leaders — closely mirroring Dreamers & Doers' curated, high-touch subscription community model, with peer advisory and curated events as core deliverables.
• Ellevate Network: Ellevate Network is a global professional women's network with a paid membership tier, peer squadrons, and curated events. Comparable to Dreamers & Doers on the women-focused professional paid-membership model, though with a broader (not founder-centric) audience.
• AllBright: AllBright runs a membership-based women's professional network combining curated events, clubhouse access, and digital content — directly comparable to Dreamers & Doers' curated-collective and high-touch events model, with a similar premium-membership price point.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: LinkedIn operates a broad professional network with a Premium subscription tier and a massive user base of executives and founders. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping capabilities (networking, content, premium membership), but at vastly larger scale and without the curated-mission positioning of Dreamers & Doers.

Emerging players

• The Memo: The Memo is a women's career and financial platform combining editorial content, community, and curated job/opportunity listings. Comparable to Dreamers & Doers on the women-focused professional content + community model, with a more public-facing and broader audience.
• Create & Cultivate: Create & Cultivate operates a women-focused business events and content platform, with conferences, digital content, and a membership/community layer. Comparable to Dreamers & Doers on the women-founder audience and events-led engagement, though more event- and media-heavy and less curated-membership-driven.
• SoGal: SoGal is a global community and venture platform for women founders and investors, combining curated events, deal-flow access, and education. Comparable to Dreamers & Doers on the women-founder ecosystem and curated-event angle, but with a stronger investor community emphasis.

Others

• Female Founders Fund: Female Founders Fund is a venture fund and broader community for women-led startups, running curated events and a network of founders and operators. Adjacent ecosystem participant to Dreamers & Doers rather than a direct competitor — useful as a comparison for ecosystem positioning and ecosystem-level deal flow.
