Where quietly ambitious women are seen, heard, and no longer the best-kept secret.
A community for women to build & grow their businesses together.
Welcome to Pink Coral Community – Hampshire and Surrey’s vibrant business community where you can build genuine relationships and find the support you need, because business was never meant to be built alone.
The truth is… the world of small business has changed.
Social media algorithms make it harder than ever to get seen
The online noise is louder than ever (and quietly ambitious women often get lost in it)
And so many of us are feeling lonely, stuck, and unsure how to grow without pouring money into ads, coaches or another course
Being known, liked and trusted has never mattered more, and that doesn’t happen from a single networking event or a carefully designed Insta grid.
It happens through people. Through relationships. Through showing up in the same room again and again, until trust grows and opportunities come naturally.
That’s where Pink Coral comes in.
You’ll fit right in here if…
• You’re building something brilliant and want women around you who inspire you, challenge you and cheer you on
• You’re done with awkward intros, hard sells, or getting pitch-slapped two minutes after a hello
• You want small, cosy events where conversations actually mean something
• You’re craving connection, collaboration and a community that makes you feel good rather than drains you
What we do
We’re a membership community for women freelancers, solo founders and small business owners who want connections that last.
Our members meet monthly at relaxed, in-person networking meetups to share ideas, collaborate and support each other. Because what one-off networking events can’t offer – consistency, trust, visibility, and belonging, is exactly what we’re built on. (Online membership coming soon)
Are you ready to feel seen, supported, and surrounded by women who get it?
Who Are We?
Founded in 2023 by Nikki Gibson, and has been growing across Hampshire, Surrey and beyond
We keep it refreshingly simple because real connection doesn’t need fuss
No gimmicks, no sales funnels – Just honest, human connection to help you grow
We don’t limit professions because no two businesses (or women!) are the same #communitynotcompetition
No referral targets or pressure
And we don’t do online networking (but never say never) – We believe relationships grow faster and stronger when we network in real-life

What you get at our events
Small, cosy and intimate vibes
A friendly mix of members and PAYG guests
Zero pressure to intro, pitch or perform
A child-free space to chat, connect, and focus on your business
A community where people actually remember you
Members look forward to seeing each other, and because everyone keeps showing up month after month, you never have to repeat the same small talk with them twice.
And while our vibe is laid-back, it doesn’t mean our members aren’t seeing ah-may-zing results.
"I count myself utterly lucky to have found this community - my business literally wouldn’t have grown to where it is today without it!” ~ Sarah

Real women. Real results. 👇🏻
Meet The Quietly Ambitious Woman.
She’s got big ideas… but please, don’t make her share them in a room full of strangers with a “fun fact about yourself”. She’ll start sweating
She’s not usually the loudest in the room, but when she’s around her people, she lights up
You won’t find her bragging on LinkedIn every five minutes, but make no mistake… she’s quietly building something fantastic
And just because she’s doing it quietly doesn’t mean she wants to do it alone
She needs people who get it. Women who are building and growing too. Dreaming big, juggling life, and still showing up
At Pink Coral, she’ll find the people she needs. Whether that's her next dream client, a business bestie, or the perfect collab partner to grow alongside.
What Being Part of Pink Coral Really Means.
GETTING SEEN
You didn’t start a business to be the best-kept secret. When you join Pink Coral, you’ll become known.
We help you stay visible through regular promo online, introductions, collaborations and recommendations.
IN-PERSON EVENTS
Feel the energy in real-life because a Zoom call just isn’t the same.
Our monthly networking meetups are designed for face-to-face connection, minus the anxiety-inducing “let’s go around the room” stuff.
COMMUNITY
You’re not doing this alone anymore!
Our small, impactful community is full of women who understand what you’re building. You’ll find friendships, proper belly laughs, and people who’ll cheer you on and champion you.
MOMENTUM
Showing up again and again is what makes the difference and builds momentum.
We’re at your side to share what we know, offer advice, and motivational pep talks (for those “shall I just go get a normal job” moments).
Hear From The Corals.
“As soon as I met Nikki, I knew that she was my kind of person… so I knew that Pink Coral would be a collection of “my people” if Nikki had brought them together. And I wasn’t wrong!" ~ Emily
“It’s an absolutely fantastic community to be part of. If you’re a self-employed woman looking for a group of supportive and inspirational women, then Pink Coral Community is for you!” ~ Sophie
“I’ve been a member since October 2024 and it was the best decision. Pink Coral is just the most welcoming group and we actually have meaningful conversations at meetups, not just swapping business cards” ~ Katerina
