About the Speaker:
Frank Licea is the co-founder and CTO of Howdy.com, a talent-sourcing platform that solves US tech companies’ biggest challenge — scaling their teams.
Howdy.com is a product of Frank’s frustration with the flaws in the traditional outsourcing model. Incentive conflicts, cultural clashes, and time zone differences prevent CTOs from building thriving product teams.
Frank realized that he had to change the game to make the nearshoring of LatAm talent work. Drawing on two decades of experience in product development and engineering, Frank focuses on imprinting individual company culture on extended engineering teams.
Obvious, Greycroft, and Y-Combinator back Howdy.com, and it works with Coinbase, WP Engine, OJO Labs, and others.
Frank, an empathetic leader with a wry sense of humor, lives in Austin, TX, with his wife and two daughters.

Testimonials
If you don't have a cohort group in something like Founders Network that you can develop long-term relationships with and discuss the same topics that come up with people that you already know, you're probably missing out on something very important.
David Plonsky
The number one advantage is the law of compound interest. The longer you stay in a very high-quality network the strong and more authentic relationships you build.
Chaitanya Vaidya
We know each other's business and we know each other's struggles. Having a personal relationship with other founders that is completely confidential and completely authentic gives you a lot of great advice.
Doug Lessing
FN manages my network for me by connecting me with other founders in my specific industry sector. I've been able to explore business development opportunities, partnerships, etc.
Becky Splitt
We just saw the first Mexican unicorn come to life this same week which is a fantastic idea. Being part of the Founders Network makes a lot of sense. We see that the Mexico City chapter is growing substantially.
Max Linares
There's a lot of great stuff going on even now in San Francisco. I've found Founders Network has been a great resource for me and for all of the founders I know during these tough times.
Jarie Bolander
It allowed me to meet people who had done this before that had the experience. I was able to explain an issue very briefly and they were able to give me a very detailed response on how they addressed it.
Terence Finn
I've used the platform to discover advice, connections, resources, discounts, on important services, connections to investors, and practice on how to pitch. The kind of conversations you can't get anywhere else on youtube or google searches.
Alexandra Greenhill
I see Founders Network as one of those necessary resources in the Chicagoland area.
