I’ve been a Founders Network member through three startups, now building a high-growth software firm. Between the events, mentoring and cool perks there’s something for every founder here and I still learn a lot from this community.
What I love about Founders Network is that it meets you where you are. The content and events are integrated smoothly into your life, and are genuinely enriching and never distracting. You can engage and learn your own way.
I’ve saved thousands of dollars, and countless hours, through Founders Network. The discounts are incredible, and unlike most message boards, the forums are extremely useful. You’ll learn more reading there than you will sifting through most online learning resources.
