"The work we do at Female Founder Collective is centered on creating opportunities, access and a lasting impact for women in business," said Ali Wyatt, co-founder of FFC. "Bringing together this extraordinary group of founders and executives in such a historic setting was a testament to the progress we've made, how far we have come —and a call to action for the work still ahead."

The unforgetting evening was made possible through the generous support of our partners: Magnum Ice Cream, Veuve Clicquot, Mazda, Banana Republic, and an Exclusive Financial Services Firm.

"This dinner was a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience and limitless potential of women when we come together in support of one another," said Rebecca Minkoff, co-founder of FFC and designer of her namesake label. "The energy in the room was undeniable, and I'm inspired by the conversations and collaborations that will undoubtedly extend far beyond this evening."
