Find Your Tribe
Led by your business growth and social life guardian angel (hi, I’m Jo), Co-Women is where feminist fire meets feel-good fun — a buzzing, heart-led community for ambitious humans who want to grow their businesses and feel deeply supported while doing it.
We’re here to make sure you never have to choose between success and sanity. Between structure and sisterhood. Between strategy and silliness. At Co-Women, you get all of it — because we believe business is better when it’s built with connection, courage, and cups of chai in hand.
Community is powerful
When women connect, the growth opportunities are endless — ideas flourish, confidence builds, and businesses thrive. At Co-Women, our mission is to create those connections and open doors for every woman, wherever she is in her journey.
As we move into our next phase, we’re expanding our reach and deepening our impact. We believe every woman deserves access to a supportive network, practical tools, and the encouragement to build something meaningful. With the right backing, we can extend this to women in marginalised communities — those who face greater barriers to success but bring incredible ideas, resilience, and vision.
That’s where you come in.
If you share our belief in empowering women through community, opportunity, and connection, we’d love to collaborate. Whether you’re an individual, business, or organisation ready to make a tangible difference, your support helps women not only build businesses but change their futures.
Let’s work together to create a world where every woman has the chance to thrive.

Testimonials
What our members say
Co-women is like a life support system. We are all women tackling our own business and navigating the world and most of us need help at times. Mutual support is what is on offer. Unlike other more corporate organisations Co-women is informal, sociable and non judgemental. It’s a warm feeling to have each others back in contrast to the competitive environment around us. I’ve found a business partner, social media expert, photographer, coaching and health experts and even a lawyer though joining, besides making some good friends. We have been to gigs, self development sessions, country walks, silent discos, you name it, besides coworking and accountability benefits. I’ve signed up for the whole year.

If you’re looking for a network of supportive, interesting and inspiring women look no further than Co-women! I’ve been super impressed with the rich and varied opportunities they provide to get involved and the level of support and cheerleading shown by the community. It’s so well run by the founders Jo and Becky who go out of their way to ensure you feel welcome and involved. Join, you won’t regret it.
Claire
I joined Jo at Co-Women at the end of 2023 and what a joy the experience has been. Jo has brought together a growing number of amazing and talented women for socialising, laughs, sharing knowledge and to support each other with our businesses. And what a lot of support and encouragement there is. Co-women is different to any other women’s group l’ve been a member of and I mean that in a very good way. It’s networking done Brighton style and I thoroughly enjoy it. Well done Jo.
