HEY BABE,
JOIN THE CLUB
A curated, invite only directory spotlighting the best underrepresented creatives, entrepreneurs and community leaders.
The creative industries run on closed circles and “who you know.”
Our directory and community cuts through that, giving you direct visibility to the people who control budgets, and giving brands a vetted, reliable space to find exceptional diverse talent.
Be discovered- without posting, pitching or performing online.
Your profile sits in a hand-selected talent pool reviewed weekly by brands, agencies and collaborators who come here specifically to find emerging voices they won’t see elsewhere.
And the best part? You’re not doing this alone. Alongside the directory, you’re joining a community of entrepreneurial, creative babes, mostly Black women, WOC and non-binary baddies- who actually get your world.
A place where you feel respected, understood and genuinely seen.

WILL I FIT IN?
If we know you like we think we do, let’s be real- you probably do a bunch of different things and your side hustles have side hustles.
However, if we had to get specific, you relate to one or more of these babes:
_FOUNDER / ENTREPRENEUR / CEO
You’re building a value driven business that’s rooted in community, sustainability and inclusion. You’re here to take your business from one place to the next, and to feel less lonely on your mission to change the world.
_creative baddie
You’re a creative entrepreneur- something like a designer, DJ, photographer, specifically looking to build the business side of your creative projects and connect with others.
_FREELANCER
Maybe you’re a copywriter, producer or social media manager. You’re here to network and potentially find clients in a meaningful way, as well as feel less lonely doing so.
_COMMUNITY LEADER
You probably compulsively create events, communities and spaces for people to connect around a shared goal or mission.

Why we’re different
It’s the diversity for us
We’re the first & only membership like this prioritising WOC and underrepresented babes. We’re also super proud to support business diversity, so all kinds of industries and levels of entrepreneurship are represented and celebrated here.
We’re engaged! But not like that…
We control who we allow into our space, just call us inclusively exclusive. We wanna make sure only babes who genuinely wanna connect with other members are allowed in, increasing the likelihood of you finding some real business friends.
We’re also weirdly close
We only intake a limited number of members to keep Babes On Waves feeling like a family affair. We also have a max capacity to combat overcrowding.
CONNECT
For babes that see community as a priority and wanna network with other inspiring entrepreneurs and make genuine biz friends.
If you’re here for more for connections rather than learning.
You’ll become part of our exclusive community so you can network, collaborate, score new gigs and build endless connections with other like-minded biz power players.

When intake opens and your application is approved, we’ll send you a private link to activate your membership and set up your profile.
From there, you’ll get access to everything inside the Club, including:
your Directory profile (your main visibility tool)
our bi-weekly Opportunities Drop
monthly Brand Briefings
your monthly Peer Match
early access to residencies, retreats and events
the Library
and the community chat
Everything you need will land straight in your inbox once you’re approved.
Twice a year, we’ll email you with an update.
Most of the time, a “not yet” simply means you need a couple more projects or examples of your work before we can include you in the Directory.
You’re always encouraged to reapply — we want you here when the timing aligns.
No.
While our community is centred around women of colour, we welcome anyone from an under-represented background — whether that’s race, socio-economic background, LGBTQIA+, or disability.
If traditional creative spaces don’t reflect you or your experience, you’ll feel at home here.
Not at all.
We currently have 5 key hubs: London, New York, LA, Berlin and the wider UK and members in other cities around the world.
If your city isn’t active yet, still apply.
Once we have enough members in a location, we launch local meet-ups, events and IRL groups there.
Your application helps us decide where to open next.
You can join quarterly or yearly — whichever suits your pace.
Yearly works out cheaper and gives you long-term stability inside the Club.
Quarterly: £29.99 every 3 months
Yearly: £19.99/month (billed annually)
Both include full access to the Directory, Opportunities Drop, Peer Match, Brand Briefings and all member perks.
No — and no community can.
But being listed in our curated directory significantly increases your visibility and chances of being discovered by the right people.
On top of that, our monthly matchmaking pairs you with someone new every month, so you can grow your network through intentional 1:1 coffee chats — not random events or forced networking.
