About Founders Network
Founded in 2011, Founders Network offers lifelong peer mentorship to over 500 tech startup founders. Our platform, programs and high-touch service facilitate authentic experience sharing, warm introductions and long-term professional relationships.
Additional benefits include over $500k in startup discounts and promotion to 2,000 newsletter readers. Members are located in San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and other tech hubs. Each month our Membership Committee admits a new cohort of full-time tech founders who are nominated by an existing member. Learn more about our company history.
Why Peer Mentorship?
After 15 years in Silicon Valley, I felt the tech startup ecosystem was missing a much needed service: a peer mentorship organization dedicated to tech founders. In 2011, Founders Network was launched and today over 600 tech founders belong to our problem solving and peer mentorship community. Together we share a vision of lifelong success through peer mentorship, based upon three core beliefs:
- No one is better qualified to advise founders than fellow founders,
- Multiple perspectives are better than one, and
- Relationships are the foundation of success.
We see the entrepreneurial spirit of our members as a driver of progress in society. Our mission is to help them channel that energy more productively and we work hard every day to facilitate their success.
