Announcing the New Earth Mastermind: Quantum milestones, Electric founders, Global community
As we step into the Fall (or Spring! depending on where you are) on this Equinox day, we remember the urgency of the work we’re here to do to transform humanity into a new paradigm that supports it. This means revamping our healthcare, education, cities, future of work, communities, media, and food systems so that everyone can thrive and fulfill their potential. We can heal the things that are not working properly and herald a new system and age where everyone gets to be healthy, feel connected, and take an active role in their own lives.
Particularly…
Healthcare -> We need to create a healthcare system founded on holistic outcomes, transparency and democratization of information, and preventative medicine.
Education -> We need to create a new paradigm where children gets to be active, creative thought-leader, makers, and visionaries of their own lives. Fully student-directed learning happening in open schools (like this one) are a great model, and other community-centric and holistic models of education that don’t force kids to memorize facts in a classroom.
Food systems -> We need to create a mass-scale transition to regenerative agriculture and farming which is in balance with the soil, seeds, and the rate of growth of crops. Ventures helping create this transition at scale will change things in a big way, as well as those aiding in education and distribution of healthy food to all communities.
Media -> Just as there are food deserts, there are “news deserts.” Localized and people-powered media - at scale - can bring clarity and autonomy to the “information” we consume, which is currently controlled by a few big media corporations. (New, trustworthy platforms for social media and community are also part of this, as are platforms that disrupt Hollywood and entertainment industries.)
Future of work and communities -> As we move away from a 9-5 employment model, ventures creating human fulfillment by re-configuring the workplace, workplace dynamics, creativity, innovation, and human empathy, as well as housing, will be fundamental to our life on Earth.
+Any other type of venture that fundamentally helps support and transform human life and un-clog human potential and vitality.

I know that many of you are here doing groundbreaking work in your communities and industries. You have founded new ventures and companies that can help people in the most fundamental way. This seems normal to you because it’s part of the work you’re here to do, but most people don’t operate this way. As a result, sometimes you feel like there’s a disconnect between you and the larger startup ecosystem or the sector you’re operating in.
The good news is that there are communities upon communities of people who believe in your work and want to see you scale and magnetize more resources, support, and visibility. The trick is getting tapped into your own leadership potential, and then letting that wave of capital, partnerships, and support in.
Look at the most successful startup/company in your field and check out their valuation or reach. You have the power to surpass that - simply because you are creating something that has a much greater value to the world than the “units” of goods or services you’re selling. There is a compounding effect and you’re probably not leveraging it successfully yet.
Instead of going for 2x MORE capital, partnerships, visibility than your competitors, most likely you’re going for half, or less than that. Because in my experience, purpose-driven founders need other electric purpose-driven founders around them before they expand into their full potential and make things happen the way that they envisioned at the start.
You are trying to shift things for a billion people. As our current operating systems implode suddenly and dramatically, shouldn’t you be stepping into your leadership at a quicker rate?
Your social venture isn’t meant to scale as fast as the ventures before you have scaled. You are here for a special, unique purpose which will become very clear to you as you begin to scale. Things can happen in a much faster and easier way inside a like minded group of peers who are creating New Earth together.
There are no two ways around it - you need to tap into your own power and feel 100% supported in it before you’re going to feel confident enough to magnetize everything you need to make your vision come true. No one does this alone (~a lesser known fact of our startup ecosystem!)
So, introducing the New Earth Mastermind - your gateway to industry-level leadership (and the easy access to capital, partnership, visibility, and impact that it creates!)
If you’ve been over-working without seeing that capital raise to fruition, you need to work less and lean on a coach and network to make it happen effortlessly.
If you face mental blocks around how fast you can grow or if your customer/user base is big enough (or will pay for your product), you have to re-center in your vision and detach emotionally from your product. Become the identity of a real CEO.
If you want to grow at a compounding rate - at quantum speed - you have to lean into a strong, bonded community of industry leaders, tactical startup experts, and other founders from all around the world. You have to let yourself be supported and let it be fun and easy to grow and scale your venture.
You would love a full-time advisor who is there for you 24/7 over e-mail and text and over 1:1 coaching calls whenever you need.
You didn’t start this venture to go it alone. You started it to change the world. So, shall we begin?

This is open to men, women, non-gender binary founders (from every background.) When you meet me, you will feel the resonance and feel seen in the unified mission we are on together.
Let’s create the future. And let’s make it easy and fun.

And, in case you’re wondering who I am. I’m Nilima Achwal, the founder of The Female Founders Lab, and I have:
launched and run seed stage accelerators for over a decade, working with founders from 4 continents and every industry, helping them raise millions in seed and follow on funding and scale their ventures.
founded a sex education and gender sensitization social venture that is transforming the attitudes and behaviors of half a million middle schoolers across India, in partnership with India’s largest corporation, Tata - so I deeply empathize with your tactical needs and decisions you have to make as a founder and social impact visionary.
received a great deal of press and visibility, including starring on a reality show reaching 10 million viewers and being featured on CNBC, Vice Media, TEDx (twice), USA Today, speaking at Stanford, Lyft, and General Assembly, and being published in Harvard Business Review. I know how creating a strong brand can allow your next steps to fall into place.
done an incredible amount of inner transformational work and healing, and I can help facilitate incredible shifts on your inner and mental landscape that can manifest into results immediately. Like, in a matter of days or hours.
Don’t believe me? In my last program, I had founders who…
went “all in” to their vision, and subsequently quit their jobs (2 founders!), moved countries, got accepted into an accelerator that doesn’t normally accept pre-pilot companies
within a span of 2-6 weeks: raised $400k in friends and family money, secured a $500k contract, secured a partnership with a dream client that they were not “ready” to approach before, resulting in 5-10x increase in their operations
met their first angel investor, totally serendipitously
This is what happens when you go “all in.”
If you’re ready to make a shift in the way you lead, then check out the New Earth Mastermind , apply here, or shoot me an email at nilima@thefemalefounderslab.com.
Coz it’s time! Look forward to meeting you.
