Ellevate Network

Ellevate Network is a professional women's network built around mentoring, leadership development and career growth. It runs as an online community with local and virtual programming, and it is the broadest organisation in this part of the directory.

It sits in the broader section because it is a general professional network rather than anything to do with family offices or significant wealth. It appears at all because it is one of the larger and better-established women's professional networks, and readers comparing the women-focused organisations in this directory will encounter it.

Who joins

Professional women across career stages, from people early in their working lives through to executives and business owners.

That breadth is the defining characteristic and the reason for the adjacent label. Almost every other organisation in this directory applies a qualification: a revenue threshold, a net worth test, an ownership requirement, a seniority review. Ellevate applies none, which makes it accessible and makes it a different kind of thing.

Anyone looking for a peer group of women running substantial companies should read the Women Presidents Organization, C200 and Chief entries instead. Those apply real tests and the rooms reflect it. Ellevate is a network you join to build a professional circle, not one where membership itself signals anything about scale.

How membership works

Membership runs in tiers, including free and paid levels, with prices shown at signup rather than published on the site.

The platform is a community system rather than a physical club, so most of what a member gets is delivered online, with local chapters organising in person where there are enough members.

What members get

Squads are the most substantial part: small peer groups that meet over a defined period to work on professional goals together. That structure gives some of the accountability a facilitated peer group provides, at a fraction of the cost and commitment.

Around them sit roundtables, virtual events, mentoring connections and local community programming.

For a family office reader, the honest assessment is that this is unlikely to be relevant to the family's own affairs. Where it may be useful is for staff: a family office employing women in finance, operations or legal roles could reasonably point them here for professional development, at a cost that will not require a conversation. Treat it as a professional development resource rather than a network for principals.
