How Female Founder Communities Are Redefining Business Narratives

Exploring the Magic Behind Majic: a tool for new-ish founders and future founders from around the world.

Written by Doone Roisin, Founder, Female Startup Club

In the big world of entrepreneurship, there's a force at play that transcends the loneliness we often associate with building a business from scratch. It's the magic that happens when those in the same boat come together and share. Share their dreams, failures, wins, and advice on their journeys to success. Today, I want to share with you that untold story of the incredible power of female entrepreneurial communities, and to shine a spotlight on a community particularly close to my heart – Majic by Female Startup Club.

Picture this: a virtual room buzzing with energy, filled with women from all walks of life, different backgrounds, industries, and experiences, all navigating the crazy world of entrepreneurship.  It's this vibrant space where the real magic unfolds. But before we dive into the juicy details of Majic, let's talk about the beauty of communities like these.

In the early days of my entrepreneurial adventure, I embraced the solo hustle mentality with all i had. This belief that I could conquer the business world armed with just my vision and determination was the narrative that encapsulated success, so that’s how I was going to go about things. Little did I know that true strength lay in collaboration, in the power of sharing, and in the resilience found within a supportive community. I don’t know if community just became a buzzword around that time, or whether it just became clear that we are all more in need of it than ever. Community is actually pretty central to the human experience, we are hard-wired to connect. It reminds me of Hygge, that was all the hype a couple of years back (pronounced hoo-ga). Hygge is the Danish way of living that prioritizes feelings of calm and coziness, but also those of a strong sense of belonging. It’s like that fuzzy feeling you get from knowing your neighbours by their first names, and it’s exactly the feeling that I came to crave so much from going at business alone. It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day, but we need to remember just how key community is and just how important it is to actively make space for it in our lives. 

This shift from going solo to valuing community is not just a change in mindset; it's a transformative journey. It's about recognizing (deep down) that success is not a solitary journey but one meant for helping hands along the way. Female entrepreneurship communities embody this philosophy, breaking down the barriers of competition and replacing them with a spirit of collaboration.

What makes these communities so extraordinary? It's the diversity of thought, the wealth of experience, and the unwavering support that we see in these virtual spaces. In a world where challenges are inevitable (the founder girlies are nodding along), having a network of fellow female entrepreneurs who understand, empathize, and offer solutions is a game-changer. We meet weekly on intimate zoom calls to chat about everything that’s going on behind the scenes; the good stuff, the bad stuff and the really fucking bad stuff. And I’m not kidding you when I say this is where the magic happens. We show up to support each other, brainstorm ideas, help connect people to the people they need to be connected to and so much more.

As I reflect on the flourishing force behind female entrepreneurial networks, I am so damn proud of the journey I made from serious solo hustling to the community I’ve built through Female Startup Club and the women who are part of it. 

That why I’d like to end by saying that Majic by Female Startup Club is more than just a community; it’s redefining business narratives. It’s a tool for new-ish founders and future founders from all around the world. It’s your access to frameworks, blueprints and SOPs that can be implemented immediately into your business, and it’s where you come to learn from world-class experts and mentors so that we can support each other, be as productive as possible, work towards creating generational wealth and build businesses with impact and purpose. Changing the world, one community at a time.
