YOU ARE...
a female founder or business owner who is looking to scale your company responsibly. You are passionate, hardworking and generous. You feel a strong need to know that your time, energy, and money are being directed in the right ways. You want to build a business that will support you, and positively impact your community.
WITH...
either a vision for a company, or an established business. Either way, you want to gain more business savvy and hard skills. Maybe you’re stuck on issues like finance, operations, or systems. Maybe you’re struggling with work-life balance or self-compassion. You’re curious about the unique challenges facing woman-owned companies, as well as their strengths.

A graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, Karly drank through the entrepreneurial fire hose to learn hard skills such as operations, negotiation, finance and business development.
This experience, along with growing up in Eastern Washington surrounded by badass women business owners, and completing a similar business mastermind, inspired Karly to create 509 Female Founders.
In addition to business consulting, Karly runs her branding and web agency, Karma. She and her women-led team build, guide and launch brands that place people and planet over profit
Karly speaks regularly on topics like the future of work, work-life balance, business for good, and navigating the creative wilderness.

We all have care jobs—make yours caring about your business.
