A COMMUNITY with a difference


We're on a mission to close the gender gap equivalent of 1.1 million missing businesses due to the fact that only 1 in 3 entreprenerus are women.

We want to see more women running sustainable and profitable businesses, whilst enjoying the process along the way.


We do this through events, our online platform and community. We lead with impact, purpose & collaboration.


No egos. Just REAL connections.

We exist to educate, connect and inspire founders and freelancers. We believe business can be fun *and* feminine and that kindness and community are key ingredients to creating the right kind of environment for people to flourish.
Join our globally expanding community where you and your ideas flourish.

"We are a lucky tribe, Lara is always going above and beyond to delight and lighten the load so that side-hustling solopreneurs like me can focus in our zones of genius with the time we have and feel fully supported in our goals. Lara is creative, genuine and an expert on all things community."

Jaz Broughton
Founder of JustJaz

"I met Lara just before we went into the first lockdown, and was enthralled by her warmth and energy. She managed to create a community who make you feel like you are getting a virtual warm hug every time you interact with any of the members. I am so lucky that I met Lara and joined F&F when I did - the past few years would have been a very different (and not so great) story for me."

Sofia Latif
Founder, Sofia Latif Skincare

"Being a member of Found & Flourish has been a game changer to both my life and my business. Not only is the founder, Lara Sheldrake just amazing but the women I have met are so supportive. I’ve found mentors, picked up clients and have made friends for life. If you’re not a member yet, why not?"

Egbe Manton
Founder of Manton Legal

"Just chock full of kind and supportive women who all want to help each other and have a ruddy good time doing it. The Masterclasses and workshops are informative yet relaxed, with expert panellists that bring so much useful information and energy. Lara is one of the most generous women I’ve met, her attention to detail and kind nature ensures every single member of her community feels at home.

Sara Dalrymple
Trainer and mentor for online business owners

"I’m so happy to be a Found & Flourish member because community and collaboration are my happy place.  I've had the chance to connect with so many brilliantly talented women, attended lots of workshops that have sparked many ideas, inspiration, and goals for the business. Working remotely can feel lonely at times, but this membership helps you feel so supported, empowered, and energised."

Janine Jacobs
Co-founder, HappyHQ

Stepping away from the comfort blanket of corporate was tough, but the support, friendship and practical help I’ve received through the F&F community have been amazing. Lara has a genuine desire to help other women succeed: through her creativity and drive, the community delivers masterclasses, provides inspiration, creates connections, encourages accountability, and above all, cheers others on.

Carolyn Cresswell
Founder of Hustle House

"When I went to my first F&F brunch I had decided it was time to reach out and grow my network. I didn’t really know what to expect but connected with the most amazing amazing women. I’ve since learned about brand partnerships and PR which has been a total game changer for my business. I’m constantly finding inspiration in their network of awesome business women."

Rosey Davidson
Infant Seelp Consultant

"Lockdown was tough on all of us and Found & Flourish was just what I needed to connect with like-minded women, discuss hurdles and share ideas. I met my co-founder, Lucia, during a virtual Hugs & Brunch – an unexpected turn of events that completely changed both our lives. I’m really grateful for F&F and all the amazing work it's doing to bring women together and empower them to build their future."

Yevgeniya Davarashvili
Founder of One6Creative

"Found & Flourish has supported me in so many ways, from meeting fellow members to advice on how to grow my business. I’m so pleased I joined this brilliant community. Whether you’re starting up a side-hustle or you’re running a full-time business I couldn’t recommend this membership enough!"

Melenie Schatynski
Founder of My Code Kit

"I'm in a few different communities and none quite have the energy of Found & Flourish. It's such a professional, positive and collaborative platform. Hugs & Brunch and the coffee roulette features encourage and facilitate deep connection with other members, which is so valuable, you can't put a price on it. I love it."

Rebecca Caution
Coach, Breathworker, EFT Matrix Practitioner

"I absolutely love being part of F&F, there’s always content or insight that will help me on my journey. And most importantly for me, it’s a community of wonderful, supportive, interesting and diverse women who have all got your back. It makes working for yourself less lonely and overwhelming, there’s a team of women behind you to lift you up. I love it, join now - you won’t regret it!"

Pippa Goulden
Founder of The PR Set

"I found my co-founder within the Found & Flourish community. During an online Hugs & Brunch, I had the chance to meet Gigi virtually. I immediately felt an alignment between her expertise and my vision for a product I wanted to build, so I decided to connect with her right after. Since then, we have been working together on Yocory. I'm so glad that Found & Flourish brought us together."

Lucia Desperati
Co-Founder & CEO of Yocory

"F&F is the business family you always wish you could have. Lara is a genuine caring leader and the real deal. She doesn’t market herself as your best friend but the kindness, generosity and support of the company she has built will feel like a business-filtered version of that. F&F has kept me going during my own personal tumultuous year and connected me with some fabulous women."
