Four women talking and laughing over coffee at a café table.
Women only · Members only

Where ambitious women meet in person.

Curated small-group coffee meetups with ambitious women, verified members only. Every other Saturday at the city's best specialty cafés, building real connections that grow your career, your business and your life.

Every application is reviewed by hand.

Friendship, not just networking.

Networking events trade business cards. Our coffee meetups trade real stories: the ambition and the doubts, the career moves and the motherhood, the burnout and the starting over. Every other Saturday, the women you meet become the women you call.

  • Your career and business. Advice, introductions and opportunities from women a few steps ahead, or right beside you.
  • Your whole life. Conversations that go beyond the job title, with women who've lived the same questions.
  • Real friendships. The same rhythm every other Saturday turns new faces into friends.
What members get

Not another networking event. A standing seat at the table.

No stages. No name tags. No crowd. Just a small group of ambitious women over coffee, every other Saturday.

  • Every other Saturday. Not a one-day event. A steady rhythm that builds your network one coffee at a time.
  • Small, curated groups. 3 to 6 ambitious women, all verified members. Room for every voice, and no one performing.
  • The city's best specialty cafés. Selected based on leading specialty coffee guides and reviews, for great coffee and space for real conversation.
  • We handle the follow-up. If you and someone you met both want to stay in touch, we connect you. No awkward asking.

Questions

Good to know

Is there a host or a programme?

No hosts, no speeches and no name tags. Just your group, great coffee and real conversation.

Do I have to come every time?

No. We text you about each Saturday ahead, and you reply YES or NO. Only say yes when you plan to be there: your group is small, so every member matters.

Where do meetups happen?

At the city's best specialty cafés, selected based on leading specialty coffee guides and reviews, for great coffee and a setting made for conversation.

Will other members see my phone number?

No. Your group sees your first name, your role and company if you shared them, and the one line you wrote about yourself. The group chat shows first names only.

You only share contact details with someone if you both choose to stay in touch after the meetup.

What if I don't see my city?

Apply anyway and tell us where you are. It's free to apply, and membership is by approval.
