Overview

AllBright is a global collective of all-female members' clubs, special event programming and a digital network that connects professional women. Its offerings include physical clubs (the first club and a Mayfair club spanning five floors and 12,000 sq ft with an 80-seat restaurant, two roof terraces and dedicated coaching space), event programming, the AllBright Magazine and the AllBright Connect app. Co-founded by Anna Jones and Debbie Wosskow, the company counts founder members such as Naomie Harris, Olivia Wilde, Martha Lane-Fox and Kanya King. AllBright raised £13m in the latest round, bringing total funding to date to £25m and valuing the company at £100m. The company intends to use the proceeds to expand operations, open its first international club (The AllBright West Hollywood) on Melrose Place in September 2019, and to roll out further international sites. Funds will also support growth of AllBright’s digital community and its programming and content initiatives. Founded in 2016 by Debbie Wosskow OBE and Anna Jones, AllBright operates a members' club, a digital Academy, and a fund to support female entrepreneurs. The Academy uses a digital, cohort-driven curriculum, a faculty of experts, and diverse course offerings to help female founders and aspiring founders build and grow businesses. The fund promotes promising female entrepreneurs in Britain and connects them with a community of angels and investors. The AllBright members' club, opened in March 2018, provides an environment for women to connect, create, and collaborate. The company raised £9m in funding to support its expansion plans. It is launching a second UK club in early 2019 and plans to open a third club in Los Angeles in 2019. AllBright was launched in November 2016 by Debbie Wosskow OBE and Anna Jones to provide tailored training, space and funding for female founders and executives. It operates the AllBright Academy, a digital and in-person educational platform for women wishing to start or scale businesses. The organisation has backed six female-led businesses since launch, including Chiaro and Piccolo. AllBright also runs events such as the FoundHER Festival, which featured over 80 speakers and 1,000 attendees across London and Manchester. It has appointed Erica Allen as Chief Operating Officer. The recent Series A financing will support expansion into providing physical workspace for female founders and scaling its platform, events and funding activities.
