Founder Finances: Salary, Equity & Financial Self-Trust
Early bird pricing *** $250
Founder Finances is a highly-curated half-day event for early-stage women founders and future funders who are actively building, scaling, and making major financial decisions in their businesses.
This isn’t another surface-level panel. It’s a workshop-meets-conference experience designed to spark real conversations around financial leadership, fundraising, scaling revenue, and long-term wealth. Attendees leave with insights, connections, and confidence to move into their next chapter with clarity.
Hosted by empowHER and Valoré Financial, this experience will bring together an intentionally curated group of women across industries - all of whom are actively generating revenue ($250K–$3M+ annually) and navigating decisions around scaling, funding, and financial leadership.
Together, we’ll create space for meaningful connection, strategic insight, and tactical financial knowledge that women in business are too often excluded from - or expected to figure out alone.
Who This is For:
Women founders generating $250K–$3M+ in annual revenue
Women actively seeking clarity around scaling, capital, or business structure
Future entrepreneurs preparing to launch with confidence and smart strategy
Investors, operators, and advisors looking to support and back female-led ventures
What You’ll Walk Away With:
Clarity on what it really looks like to raise capital - and if it’s right for your business
Financial fluency to understand your numbers and build a business designed to scale
Tools and frameworks around ownership, salary, equity, and long-term financial planning
A fresh perspective on storytelling and marketing as powerful assets in fundraising
New relationships with women who get it - and want to help you get there
