ABOUT AWAKENHUB

AwakenHub was launched in July 2020 to remove barriers to investment, scale and success for women founders. It has grown to over 3000 members, primarily women www.awakenhub.com. 

In our inaugural year, women founders expressed a need for a private community to share, learn, and ask questions in a sacred space. We piloted a private closed group in 2021 on an invitation-only basis. Since then, we have been onboarding women founders/entrepreneurs on an Annual Membership basis.

AwakenClub is not a selling platform but a peer community for informal advice, guidance, confidence-building, capacity enhancement, expertise development, and connectivity. 

We selectively onboard a limited number of women founders each month based on a 'good fit' policy. Group membership is curated and open to women founders/founding & startup teams in Ireland and its diaspora with ambitions to build/grow/scale their business.

Membership normally costs £140 per annum.

  • Access to regular AwakenHub community monthly events (usually £10 per event)
  • Priority access to AwakenHub community in-person meetups
  • Direct contact with AwakenClub members
  • Multi-channel communities within AwakenClub
  • Private Thematic Drop-in sessions (topics identified by members)
  • Big Sister Sessions (small group niche topic one off working sessions) and informal access to ‘Big Sisters’ - experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and company builders
  • County Ambassadors
  • Legal Workshop Series
  • Executive Coaching Group (limited capacity each year - selection process)
  • Shared intelligence and information
  • Discounted access to Masterclasses, programmes and SheVentures Summit
  • Private pitch practice for those seeking pre-seed/seed funding via www.awakenangelshq.com

THE ASK:

  1. Terms of Engagement: Commit to this being a peer exchange platform, offering help to other women founders, using it as a safe space for tough questions or unbiased advice. Do not exploit the goodwill of the group; it is not a selling platform.

  2. Annual Subscription: Individual annual subscription of £140 (or equivalent in Euro) is waived for 1 year. Should you wish to remain you will be required to pay the membership fee from April 2025. AwakenHub is a registered social enterprise and relies on subscriptions to cover overhead costs and support its mission. All profits are reinvested.

  3. Help Us Grow: Identify and encourage other women founders/allies who would benefit from AwakenClub to apply.
