About

Tired of polishing the glass ceiling with your head? More women are leaving outdated systems to build companies of their own — only to hit a glass cap table.

Spinsters started in 2012 as a non-patronizing consulting practice for women entrepreneurs — and a surprising number of male founders who were chill and wanted a thought partner, not a thought leader.

Built by an award-winning Ogilvy-trained marketer who'd spent years studying gender, workplace policy, and psychology at LSE — and was tired of watching women try to infiltrate Tech Bro space only to get shoved out or Elizabeth Holmes-ify their personalities trying to fit in. Spinsters was the original fractional C-suite — back when it was just called "showing up."

For 13 years, Spinsters helped 64+ founders from around the world, including the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Israel, turn dreams into plans...

...like the media company whose pitch deck we sharpened — they succesfully crowdfunded $250K+ and landed in a16z's TXO)…
…lay foundations (like the 18,000-subscriber newsletter we built from scratch in just a few months)…
…do the hard-core construction (like the $100K we raised in 30 days)…

...and picked the pieces up when things fell apart. All at a price that didn't break founders' budgets.

Now, we're back as a newsletter of our own. Unspun, unfiltered insights on building, funding, and leading for early-stage founders tired of "lean in" content. Real connections, tactical guides, and unabashed stories on what it takes to be a new kind of leader (i.e. Girl Bosses are dead. Long live Spinsterhood).

Fineprint: Still taking a very small number of advisory clients. Paid services only — no boards, no equity. The newsletter is the open door: ask questions for free, get real answers, find funding weekly. Subscribe → spinsters.ghost.io
