From the Founder

Matvey Y.

Investor · Founder · Strategic Visionary

Matvey Y. is an investor, entrepreneur, and organizational builder with one guiding conviction: the most underutilized resource in the global economy is the untapped potential of women. Years of work across venture, social enterprise, and community building have only deepened that belief.

He founded Feminist Club with a clear mandate — to build an organization combining the rigor of a serious professional institution with the moral clarity of a rights movement. “Women deserve better than a charity cause or a corporate checkbox. They deserve a platform that treats their advancement as the strategic priority it actually is.”

Feminist Club is a community of women leaders, advocates, founders, and allies — growing through events, mentorship, and shared purpose. We're building it openly. If our mission resonates, we'd love to have you as a founding member.

Our Manifesto

Why we exist

We believe that equality is not aspirational — it is overdue. That women's leadership is not a future possibility — it is a present necessity. That advocacy without infrastructure is theatre, and infrastructure without conviction is hollow. We are building the institution that closes that gap. One leader, one law, one industry at a time.

Build with us

We're hiring & gathering allies

Feminist Club is being built openly. If you're interested in joining the team, leading a program, advising us, or partnering as a founding ally — we'd love to hear from you.

01💼

Join the core team

We're looking for founding team members across programs, partnerships, content, and community. If you want a leadership role in building something meaningful, write to us.

02🤝

Advise or mentor

Senior leaders, founders, policy experts — we're building a network of advisors and mentors. Lend your experience to women earlier on their path.

03🏆

Lead a chapter

Bring Feminist Club to your city. We support local organizers who want to host gatherings, mentorship circles, and policy convenings on the ground.

What We Do

Everything we do drives real-world progress

From policy to professional development, our work spans every domain where gender inequality takes root.

01🏛

Advocacy & Policy Reform

We engage legislators and institutions to champion laws protecting women's rights, close the pay gap, and ensure equal representation in government and corporate governance.

02📈

Leadership Development

Through executive coaching, leadership academies, and cohort programs, we equip women with the skills, confidence, and networks to lead at the highest levels.

03💼

Career & Business Growth

Career acceleration resources, entrepreneurship support, funding connections, and business programming to help women build sustainable careers and companies.

04🎓

Education & Awareness

We develop educational resources, research publications, and public awareness campaigns that inform, inspire, and mobilize communities around gender equality.

05🌐

Community & Networking

Our global community connects women across industries — creating relationships that open doors, build coalitions, and sustain long-term professional support systems.

06🤚

Mentorship & Support

Structured programs matching emerging leaders with experienced professionals who provide guidance, sponsorship, and access to opportunities.

Why It Matters

The data is clear.
Inequality is still everywhere.

Gender inequality is present in every boardroom, courthouse, and salary negotiation happening right now. The evidence is overwhelming — and so is the opportunity.

What we stand for

Our values

Five principles that shape every program, partnership, and decision we make.

I

Rigor over rhetoric

We build serious programs with real outcomes, not slogans. If we can't measure it, we don't claim it.

II

Community over credentials

We meet women where they are. Every tier of membership is built to be genuinely useful, not gatekept.

III

Action over aesthetics

Pretty campaigns are easy. Real movement work is hard. We choose the second — even when the first would get more applause.

IV

Coalitions over silos

No single organization closes the gap. We partner widely — with companies, nonprofits, governments, and grassroots groups.

V

Transparency over polish

We share our wins, our losses, and our finances. The movement deserves an institution it can trust.

VI

Built openly

We're a community in motion — new members, new programs, new chapters. If you want to help shape it, your timing is perfect.
