Proof welcomes all committed, dedicated, honest women in food

regardless of race, sexual orientation, age, religion and background. We encourage trans women, BIPOC women and LGBTQ+ women to join us. Our goal is to make the food industry more equitable, help more women get paid their worth and strengthen our industry through an in person community.

Who We Are

Proof Collective is a San Francisco-based community of women who live, love and work in food. Among us are restaurateurs, chefs, bakers, farmers, artisanal producers, winemakers, wine sellers, chocolatiers, marketers, writers, book publishers, technologists, financiers and more.

What We Do

We connect each month over a shared meal to empower and support each other throughout all aspects of creating, growing and running small and large food businesses—from profit-focused entrepreneurialism and business strategies to personal development.

Our Vision

We seek to build an entrusted, empowered female community of bad-ass food industry professionals, who can connect openly and honestly about the challenges, successes and everything-in-between of running food businesses.

So, are you Proof?
