Women on Boards Project places women on for-profit consumer boards. For Humble Growth, that means a curated pipeline of CEOs, operators, and experts... built specifically around what you need.
Humble Growth backs brands that are changing the way we eat, drink, feel, and live. So do we. W Project was co-founded by consumer investors and operators who built careers inside the industry — not outside it. Our network is 7,500 women deep, spanning every vertical Humble touches... food, beverage, health, beauty, supplements, lifestyle. We know who you'd want at the table because we're already at ours.
"A lot of boards get built by term sheets, not strategy. We help change that." — Women on Boards Project
Our network of 7,500 women spans every consumer vertical — and we know them personally. Every woman in our network has been interviewed and vetted by our team. We understand their backgrounds, their operating experience, their appetite for board work, and exactly where they'd add value. These aren't cold contacts in a spreadsheet. They're long-standing relationships built over years of working inside consumer.
Why depth matters: Board search isn't recruiting. The right candidate isn't whoever happens to have "board member" in their LinkedIn bio. It's the person whose specific background, relationships, and operating instincts are exactly what a company needs at that moment in time. We can make that call because we've done the work to know these women over years — not weeks.
Here's how a W Project partnership translates directly into deal value for Humble Growth. Every search we run, every quarterly roundup we build — you're getting a curated look into the operator and executive talent that defines the next generation of consumer leadership.
These are a handful of the women we've placed on consumer boards since 2020. Each one vetted, known personally, and matched with intention. This is what our network looks like in practice.
A selection of the brands where our women now sit on boards. 11 of our partner companies have been acquired.
+ many more across food, beverage, health, beauty, and lifestyle. 11 partner companies acquired to date.
A strong foundation, and a deeper collaboration that puts Humble Growth at the center of something really exciting in consumer. We're open to building the right version together.
The bottom line: You get a direct line into 7,500 personally vetted consumer operators and executives — and unlimited access to our placement infrastructure for your entire portfolio.
This is where it gets interesting. Co-branded events pull women into your orbit who wouldn't come to a standard investor dinner. These aren't panels — they're curated rooms with people you actually want to know. This is how you build the relationship, not just the pipeline.
We've been to the panels. We've been to the dinners. What works is something curated, specific, and built to create real relationships — not a room full of business cards. We've already done it at Expo West. We want to do it with Humble.
You've said you want to lean in. We're ready to make it real. Whether you start with the $40K foundation or build toward a $100K events partnership, this pays back in pipeline, credibility, and genuine impact.
