Ground Support hosts informal community events where female founders and operators gather to connect and collaborate. GS recently expanded and now hosts events in both NYC and SF.

Jessica Wolf and Nicole Maffeo started Ground Support in 2022. Both are both early stage female founders. Jessica founded Skye which is a platform for coaching. Nicole founded SIZE which is a crypto protocol. In 2023, Elena DeVoe joined the team to co-lead the GS NYC chapter. Elena is an operator who advises private investment funds on fundraising and liquidity solutions.

Despite working in disparate industries, they recognized that their day-to-day considerations and meaningful challenges, were very much alike.

Realizing that these experiences transcend to the broader female founder community, they started Ground Support to bring female founders and operators together.
