At Founders Network, we believe that no one is more qualified to give founders advice than other founders. That is why our roundtables feature founders who have achieved noteworthy scale, and want to pay it forward by sharing their journey. Please join fellow startup founders for our quarterly roundtable featuring Bryan Johnson.

Testimonials

Image
"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
Image
"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
Image
"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
Image
"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
Image
"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
Image
"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
Image
"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
Image
"I see Founders Network as one of those necessary resources in the Chicagoland area."
Jason Jacobsohn

"The Black Founders initiative allows me to shape this program where we can inspire, engage, and support Black Founders."
