Media can be a tough nut to crack, but the consistent, high-level feedback from Founders Network helped to sharpen my startup’s business plan and helped me to see problems as simply obstacles to overcome.
The perks alone make Founders Network worthwhile, but the personalized support and access to mentoring and useful introductions are what keep me coming back. Thank you, Founders Network!
Founders Network was exactly the sounding board I needed building my first startup, and why I eventually secured a lifetime membership, There’s simply no better community of passionate and dedicated founders.
