Register NowJoin Female Founder Collective co-founders Rebecca Minkoff and Ali Wyatt for a candid conversation about what they’re seeing founders navigate right now—and the challenges and questions that continue to come up across more than 1,000 businesses in our founder community.
From growth and customer acquisition to hiring, capital, and figuring out where to focus next, Ali and Rebecca will share the patterns they’re seeing, what’s working, and what founders should be thinking about as they head into the final months of 2026.
💬 We’ll dig into questions like:
- Where should I be spending my time?
- Who is the best person to hire next?
- Where is my money actually going?
- Why am I growing but still broke?
- How do I get customers consistently?
- What does success even look like for my business?
- What numbers do investors actually care about?
- How do I market with no money and no team?
If you’re considering joining The 10th House or applying to our Fall ’26 Health & Wellness Accelerator + Cohort, this is also an opportunity to experience the kinds of conversations, guidance, and support we bring to our founder community.
We’ll share more about Founders of the Future and The 10th House, including what the six-week Health & Wellness Accelerator + Cohort looks like, how ongoing membership works, and how we support founders beyond the accelerator.
Then we’ll open it up for live Q&A with Ali and Rebecca. Bring your questions about your business, the accelerator, membership, or whether The 10th House is the right fit for where you are now.
This event is designed for prospective members exploring The 10th House—but members, you’re welcome to join us, too! Share your experience with founders considering the community and get fresh insights from Rebecca & Ali along the way.

Profitable First, Funded Second: How Victoria Thain Gioia Built Perelel Before Taking Institutional Money
Tuesday, October 6, 2026, 1:00 PM PDT
Join us for a conversation with Victoria Thain Gioia, Co-Founder and CEO of Perelel, the first OB/GYN-founded vitamin company offering doctor-formulated, research-backed supplements for every stage of women's hormonal health. Before founding Perelel, Victoria spent her career in investment banking, private equity, and operating roles at The Honest Company, Olive & June, and Carbon38, three of the most recognizable consumer brands in beauty and wellness. That operating background, combined with a personal experience that pointed her toward a real gap in prenatal care, shaped how she built Perelel from the ground up.
