The problem

It's lonely making big decisions.

The higher you go in your career or business, the harder it becomes to find people who truly understand the decisions you're navigating. Your friends don't always get it. Your team can't always see the full picture. And most communities are filled with people earlier in the journey.

So you end up carrying decisions like these alone
  • Hiring leadership
  • Negotiating partnerships
  • Scaling revenue
  • Building influence online
  • Managing burnout
  • Deciding what actually matters right now

We built this network to solve that gap. Because the women building the most interesting things deserve a room where they can think out loud, get honest input and make better decisions faster.

Because ambitious women deserve a personal advisory board.
Your Personal Advisory Board

A trusted circle solving real problems together, in real time.

Each week, members bring real challenges and questions into the conversation. Someone in the network has usually faced the same thing — or knows exactly who you should talk to next.

01
Should I hire a COO or a Head of Ops?
The kind of question you can't Google. Bring it to your advisory board and get input from people who've actually made this hire.
02
Is this $80k brand deal worth the exclusivity clause?
Creators and founders in the room have negotiated hundreds of deals. You'll get a real read before you sign.
03
How do I negotiate my first seed round term sheet?
Investors and founders who've been through it are in the network. Someone can make the right introduction too.
"She saved me so much time with that insight."
"She introduced me to exactly the person I needed."
"It's keeping me accountable and on track."

This won't work for you if
  • You take more than you give
  • You're early in your professional journey
  • You're looking for a done-for-you solution
  • You don't take action on ideas or advice
  • You prefer shortcuts over substance
This is for you if
  • People constantly ask for your brainpower and you're done giving it away for free
  • You've built real experience, but the right people don't know about it yet
  • You want warm introductions that actually go somewhere
  • You're building toward something meaningful, on your own terms
  • You want to stop carrying the big decisions alone
A letter from Doone

Howdy Chick,

In 2020, I shut down a profitable six-figure ecomm business (thinking it was worth nothing.. lol painful lesson) and started a tiny podcast on my bedroom floor. That podcast turned into a top 0.5% globally ranked show with 750+ episodes, a bestselling book, millions of downloads and a seven-figure media business, largely built by showing up online as a one-woman show.

Along the way I landed Techstars (1% acceptance rate), became a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, got invited into rooms like Buckingham Palace and Davos(!), and built an audience of 160,000+ smart thinkers, operators and decision-makers.

This network is the room I wish I had before I burnt out. And the room I still want to be in today. If you're done being asked for your brainpower for free, this is for you.

See you inside,

Doone

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Founders, creators, operators, executives and investors who are building at a high level, bring real expertise, and are ready to give as much as they receive. The common thread is ambition, not job title.
No. While many members are founders, we welcome senior operators, executives, investors and creators who are building at a high level. What matters is that you have something real to contribute and something real to solve.
Each week you'll join your advisory board session to bring real challenges and decisions into the conversation. Between sessions, the Slack community is active with introductions, opportunities, shared resources and honest conversations.
Very. Every application is reviewed manually and we only accept a small number of new members each month. We're intentional about protecting the quality of the room — which is exactly what makes it valuable.
Neither. This is a peer advisory network. The value comes from your circle of ambitious women bringing their experience, networks and insights to your challenges in real time — not from a curriculum or a coach.
We're built for busy women. The weekly advisory session is the core commitment, plus however much time you want to engage in the Slack community. Members who get the most value show up consistently — but we don't believe in busywork.
Membership is $500 per month, cancel anytime. We also offer a Founding Member annual membership at $5,000 per year. Most members recoup the investment through a single introduction, partnership or lead-generating post.
We review every application within 3 business days. If accepted, you'll receive onboarding details and an invitation to a 1-1 kickoff call with Doone to go through your goals and immediate priorities.

Every ambitious woman needs a personal advisory board.

Inside Female Startup Club, you get one.
