To our founders & friends lighting up their homes, hearts, and dreams this Diwali - this one’s for youuu 🪔✨ I just LOVE that Diwali is all about spreading light and celebrating wins (the big ones and the little ones). In this spirit, we’ve put together a special playlist featuring some of the incredible Indian & South Asian founders who’ve been on the show over the past few years.... These stories truly capture the essence of Diwali: resilience, ambition, and a vision to make an impact 🫶 🪔 Zara Saleem, co-founder of Delhicious 🪔 Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin, co-founder of SUMMERSALT 🪔 Michelle Ranavat, founder of RANAVAT 🪔 Farah Jesani, founder of One Stripe Chai Co. 🪔 Aishwarya Iyer, founder of Brightland 🪔 Priyanka Ganjoo, founder of Kulfi 🪔 Divya Gugnani, founder of Wander Beauty Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gztsbdXN And drop a 🩷 in the comments to celebrate these brilliant women! Wishing everyone a Diwali filled with joy, growth (and a little extra sparkle✨)

As founders it’s *far too* easy to breeze past achievements, always looking at the next big thing you want to achieve. But here’s the thing—every win counts, even the small, quiet ones. Each one represents a step forward, a lesson learned, a moment we showed up for ourselves. Imagine the impact we’d feel if we took just a little time to celebrate all of that? Because celebrating isn’t about slowing down; it actually fuels our tank and gives a pretty strong nod how far we’ve come. 🩷 Access our business insights & grant opportunities for female founders here: https://lnkd.in/gTeGyqs9

There's a popular saying that ambitious people have two options: 1. Marry a supportive partner, who knows and understands exactly what they're signing up for 2. Do not get married Ambition is a whole mood, right? When you’re driven there’s something to be said for your partner being right there, hyping you up, not holding you back. The truth is, being ambitious isn’t just about having goals—it’s a lifestyle. Late nights, early mornings, and sometimes, taking risks that not everyone will get. Do you agree? 💕 👉 Access our business insights & grant opportunities for female founders here: https://lnkd.in/gTeGyqs9

How about writing monthly love letters... To yourself? 💕 I’m always down for more refreshing ways to approach self-care and goal-setting. Instead of just crossing tasks off a list, why don’t we celebrate our wins? Acknowledge our growth? And set intentions with a little more love and intention? It’s a beautiful reminder to really reflect on our journeys (life is not a box-ticking exercise!!) 👉 Access our business insights & grant opportunities for female founders here: https://lnkd.in/gTeGyqs9

Ever had one of those lightbulb moments when a new idea strikes? The kind that feels so fresh and exciting that you're almost afraid to say it out loud? We call those "whisper ideas"—the ones you keep close because they’re easy to copy. And let's face it, if someone else caught wind of it, they could run with it before you even finish your first draft. But here's the thing: Whisper ideas are often fragile. They thrive on trends, hype, or what’s cool right now, making them super easy to replicate. The real magic isn’t in the idea itself; it’s in who brings it to life. So it's really all about finding the idea that’s uniquely yours—the one you can shout about from the rooftops because nobody else can do it the way you can. It’s not about being the first or the loudest. It’s about bringing something to the world that’s undeniably you. The kind of magic that others might try to copy but can never truly capture. It turns out the businesses that endure aren’t built on whispers. So next time inspiration strikes, ask yourself: “Is this something I can bring my magic to? If the answer is yes, don’t keep it to yourself. Shout it out, share it, and make it yours in a way that no one else can touch. Because the world doesn’t need more carbon copies—it needs you and what only you can create. What’s your shout-worthy idea? 👉 Access our business insights & grant opportunities for female founders here: https://lnkd.in/gTeGyqs9 #femalestartupclub #inspiration #entrepreneurship #femalefounder #businessadvice
