As a first-time founder, Founders Network was instrumental in helping to land my first set of customers. The relationships I’ve built have been extremely valuable not just in building my business, but for support and encouragement along the way.
Founders Network helped me navigate my startup through a critical fundraising period, thanks to the honesty advice and support of the adtech cohort. The events are excellent: You gain genuine insider knowledge, and there’s a real sense of community among founders who want to help each other succeed.
Founding a company can be overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to get lost in a flood of information and resources targeted at founders. The Founders Network community helps to keep things in perspective, and to stay focused on what really matters for your startup.
