DareWomen

What DareWomen does

DareWomen is a non-profit association founded in 2019 in California that provides professional mentoring, training, and community programming for women. The organization operates a two-sided model: an individual-facing membership community (delivered through the HelloAsso platform) and an enterprise consulting arm branded as DareWomen Conseil, which sells customized mentorship, leadership, and gender-equality programs to companies and institutions. DareWomen serves four primary individual personas — women entrepreneurs, employed women, women in career transition, and students/young graduates — plus a secondary segment for women with disabilities. Geographically, the organization was founded in the US but operates primarily in France, with a regional French chapter (DW Béarn Pays Basque).

The product portfolio centers on three pillars: structured mentoring (Mentorat) paired with digital mentoring (Mentorat Digital), skill-development workshops and training (Dare Academy and DareTraining), and community engagement through DareTalk interviews, DareLunch networking lunches, DareDrink cocktail evenings, and DareTrip travel experiences. The DW Entreprenures program, launched in 2021 and co-directed by Véronique Bellarbre and Rebecca Thibierge, targets women entrepreneurs with Masterminds, co-development groups, and specialized mentoring. Membership unlocks access to mentoring, workshops, and events; revenue is generated via annual membership fees (on the HelloAsso platform), paid event and experience fees (e.g., DareTrip Morocco at €1,500 for members and €1,700 for non-members), and B2B consulting contracts via DareWomen Conseil. DareWomen operates with approximately 9 employees, a community of 300+ members, and is led by Founder and President Frédérique Picard Le Bihan and Vice President Charlotte Tourmente.
