What our women founders have to say

This is so overwhelming. I was on cloud nine after being nominated by my peers for a SheGenerate peer award but to actually win the #SheGenerate Showcase has tipped me over the edge of gratitude 🥰 There aren’t enough thank yous for the incredible AwakenHub team, community and sponsors!

Nicole O'Connor from LearningMe
Getting coached by Kelly Hoey has been like finding a secret playbook for business success! It's been crucial for me in navigating the business world with a bit more confidence and (dare I say it) swagger! Tips are smart and doable and already making a difference. A huge shoutout to AwakenHub – you guys are the real MVPs behind the scenes.

Lyn Mutch from Noodlehorse Media
It has made the world of a difference to me. Without it I would still be struggling at the beginning of an idea and wondering which direction to go in. I strongly believe that if it wasn't for AwakenHub I would have given up

Fiona Doherty from Honey Comb Cabin
Awaken Hub Trade Mission was beyond my expectations. I built personal relationships amongst the Female founders and Awaken hub founders with positive business relationships built with future growth potential.

Claire O'Kane from Mussenden Sea Salt

Item 1 of 4

“As part of my SheGen3 journey AwakenHub opened the door for me to the US market as part of the US Trade Mission in 2024 with visits to the Irish and British Consulates in New York and Boston… offering a wealth of connections. Thank you AwakenHub for your unwavering commitment and being champions for a cause that affects us all. Together we are not just detecting cancer faster, we are nurturing women who are at the heart and soul of our communities.”
(Justina Ugwah, founder of Clisterprobe)

Approx. 90% increase in revenue this month v’s last month & tripled my email subscriber list. The SheGen workshops are the highlight of my month. I've gained knowledge & clarity and have a tribe of women founders supporting and championing me.
