Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?

Kristin Marquet: The concept for FemFounder emerged from my experiences and challenges as a female entrepreneur. I noticed a significant gap in resources, mentorship, and community specifically tailored to women in the startup and entrepreneurship space. My vision was to create a platform that filled this gap and fostered an empowering environment where women could learn, grow, and succeed together.

Great Companies: What would it be if you had one piece of advice for someone just starting?

Kristin Marquet: I suggest starting with a clear understanding of your 'why.' Knowing why you're embarking on this journey will be your anchor through the ups and downs. It's essential to remain flexible and open to learning, but your underlying purpose should guide your decisions and keep you motivated. And remember, every entrepreneur's path is filled with challenges, but those challenges forge your resilience and shape your success story.
