WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT HERE
Welcome! Melissa (Ingino) & Gena (Bradshaw-Vitale) here! We’re Fearless Founders, a bold-hearted community built for entrepreneurs who are ready to lead, grow, and disrupt unapologetically. Here, it’s not about playing small or following the crowd, it’s about showing up fully, building with intention, and creating a legacy you’re proud of. We believe in real connections, real strategy, and real growth. So whether you’re here for inspiration, collaboration, or your next big breakthrough, you belong here.
"Bold moves, big heart, no apologies."
True success isn’t loud, performative, or just for show. It’s aligned, purpose-driven, and deeply personal. Fearless Founders define success on their own terms and

We Reconnected on Stage
After years apart, we reunited as panel speakers at a networking event, and instantly felt the spark of something bigger.
We Started Planning OUR VISION
By late April, we were already sketching out ideas, mapping the vision, and laying the groundwork for what would soon become Fearless Founders.
We Launched Our First Meeting
Within weeks, we hosted our first in-person gathering and virtual event, proving the power of aligned vision, shared purpose, and fearless action.
