Femology-Michigan Central partnership helps to shape the future for women-owned businesses

Femology unveiled its new headquarters within Newlab at Michigan Central, creating a space that encourages innovation, collaboration, and the growth of female entrepreneurship in Detroit.?

As part of the partnership, Newlab at Michigan Central will serve as the central hub for Femology’s programming, events, and community-building efforts, reinforcing the organization's commitment to providing a vibrant and inspiring environment for women to connect, learn, and grow.

“This collaboration between Femology and Michigan Central is more than a partnership—it’s a bold step toward reshaping the future of entrepreneurship for women across the globe," said Meagan Ward , Founder of Femology. “With less than 3% of women-led high-growth ventures receiving adequate capital, we are determined to change that narrative. Together, we’re building a curriculum that equips women to rise, thrive, and leave an indelible mark on the world.”

To address the challenges female entrepreneurs face, Femology launched the Female Founder School, a year-long initiative that provides resources, mentorship, and hands-on support to empower women-led ventures from ideation to scaling. The program offers two tailored pathways for female founders:?

Start Pathway: For those at the early stages of ideation, launching, or pivoting.

Scale Pathway: For established entrepreneurs ready to amplify their impact.?

Program participants will gain access to:

• A vetted community advancing female entrepreneurship
