Built for first-time female founders

Especially if you've never built a tech company before and don't know where to start.

You don't know where to begin

Everyone says "just build something," but no one explains what to build, who to build it for, or how to know if it's worth building at all.

Too much advice, no clear direction

Podcasts, Twitter threads, courses, mentors. Everyone has an opinion, and most of it contradicts itself.

You're not technical and that feels like a blocker

You have ideas, but translating them into a real product feels overwhelming when you don't know how software gets built.

Every decision feels high-stakes

Should you validate first or build? Talk to customers or hire help? Without a framework, everything feels risky and urgent.

Where you start vs. where you graduate

An idea in your head

A product in the market

No customers

Paying users or signed contracts

No technical skills

Built your own MVP with AI tools

Spinning your wheels alone

Surrounded by founders doing it with you

Googling everything

A clear framework and expert guidance

Afraid to start

Momentum you can't stop

What if you had a clear path forward?

A 12-week system that gives you the framework, tools, and support to go from idea to paying customers.

Clear Framework

Step-by-step guidance so you always know what to work on next

“It's not just about the platform, it's about the community. It's about having others that understand what you're going through, the anxiety of what the hell am I doing, posting online, the imposter syndrome, all of those things.”
Jenna BoyleFounder
OVERVIEW

How Jenna went from idea to 6 paying customers — and 3x'd her investment

Joined Theanna in November, landed 6 paying customers by graduation

Jenna Boyle is a mental health coach turned tech founder. After years of working in the wellness industry, she knew she wanted to build something bigger — but didn't know where to start. Theanna gave her the framework and community to go from idea to real traction — and she made 3x her investment before the program was even over.

THE PROBLEM

Spinning her wheels without a clear direction

Jenna knew she wanted to help people with mental health through coaching, but she was stuck. She had tried multiple approaches — different niches, different offers — but nothing was clicking. She felt like she was spinning her wheels, unsure of who her ideal customer really was or what they'd actually pay for.

THE THEANNA PROCESS

Niching down and talking to real customers

Through Theanna's framework, Jenna learned how to define her ICP, write interview scripts, and conduct customer discovery calls that actually revealed insights. She stopped guessing and started listening. The process helped her narrow down from "anyone who needs mental health support" to a specific, underserved segment.

THE BREAKTHROUGH

6 paying customers and 3x ROI before graduation

By interview #14, Jenna found her dream client — and it didn't stop there. She landed 6 paying customers before the cohort was over, making 3x her investment in Theanna. This wasn't just validation; it was real revenue and proof that her positioning was right.

WHAT'S NEXT

Scaling with confidence

Jenna graduated with 6 paying customers, clear product-market fit, and the confidence to keep growing. She knows exactly who her customer is, what they need, and what they'll pay. Theanna gave her the structure, the community, and the expert guidance to stop spinning and start building.

In their own words

I started off with one idea, pivoted, and now I'm asking myself a lot more questions about what is something I can build with value. I'm inspired by all of you.

Financial Clarity for Creatives

When I walked into Theanna 12 weeks ago, I had a problem I'd been living for years, a spreadsheet of survey responses, and zero product. Now I have a full pipeline.

Salleha

Inaya Health

About 85% of folks signed up. 85% filled out the initial intake. 62% completed the entire onboarding, and one person sent this to their partner.

Loved by women building the future of tech

Meet Nomiki

Hi, I'm Nomiki. With 15+ years in product leadership, I've helped build and scale products at startups and Fortune 500 companies alike.

I built Theanna because I saw too many talented women founders spinning their wheels — not from lack of skill, but from lack of a clear framework and honest support system.

Women Build Cool Sh*t is the accelerator I wish I had: structured enough to create momentum, flexible enough for real life, and led by someone who's been in the trenches.

What They're Saying

Gina Cano

I just have to say I am LOVING this entire platform, process, everything. You my friend have built something amazing and I am learning so damn much! I may be moving slower than I would like but I am taking in EVERY SECOND and really really embracing this journey. Just wanted to say BRAVO!

Gina Cano

Founder of Unapologetic Tech

Jen Schimbeno

I just want to tell you what you have created is insane and is blowing my mind. I literally have said out loud at least 10 times "this is insane" and in the best way possible. I hope you wake up really proud of yourself. You have created something amazing all while maintaining connection in such a beautiful and authentic way.

Jen Schimbeno

Founder of My Dead Plan

Kristi Candela

It's super helpful. Truly. I love the framework and the way it's walking through. The thing is I spend a lot of time in Claude/ChatGPT but this feels way more targeted and structured. Whereas the others let me meander and go off topic. (Which I don't need to meander) so it's a good thing lol

If you're a woman who gets sh*t done, you're in the right place.

A new kind of accelerator for women who ship.
