Cambridge Female Founders Network
About
The Cambridge Female Founders Network (CFFN) is a founder-led organisation building a new model of founder support to help women-led teams start, build and scale ambitious companies in Cambridge.
​We build seats at the table for founders and the people who help them scale. CFFN is coalition-led: founders, investors, operators, universities and ecosystem partners working together — not in silos — to strengthen the support layer around women-led companies.​
