Founders Network helps founders like you

Domingo Guerra

President & Founder of
Appthority

"Through FN partners, I’ve saved $24k on cloud hosting and connected with Tier-1 investors like Sequoia Capital. From a series of ideas to our $6M Series A, Founders Network has helped every step of the way."

Galen Buckwalter

Chief Science Officer of
psyML

"You’ll learn more from the threads seen here everyday than you did in most courses you’ve ever waded through. So dive in, everyone is here because this is exactly what we want to be doing."

Alexandra Greenhill

CEO Cofounder of
Careteam Technologies

"In Africa, there is a saying: 'If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.' The great thing about the Founder's Network is that it's not an either/or! We go together farther AND faster, and actually it's way more fun ;) "

Yoav Schwartz

CEO & Co-Founder of
Uberflip

"I really like the intimate format of FN's Toronto Chapter events. They allow you to go deeper with some really interesting founders. Combined with access to the global network on FN's platform, really complement the local Toronto ecosystem nicely."

"I would say it’s a very reasonable cost to tap into a worldwide network of entrepreneurs who, as a group, have gone through just about everything you can imagine and have a world of experience they can offer to you."

- Will Bunker, founder of Match.com

Rakesh Tondon

CEO Of LE TOTE

As my startup has grown from Bootstrap to Series B, the problems haven’t gone away, they’ve just changed. This isn’t a community you outgrow, it’s a community that grows with you.

Andrew Maguire

co-founder and CEO Of Sharpend

The conversations happening in the forum are as good or better than what a top accelerator would offer. It’s been a great complement to us post-500 Startups

Richard White

Product madman Of Fathom

Talk to any seasoned entrepreneur and they’ll tell you: don’t go it alone; find folks you can confide in. FN is exactly that: an invaluable resource of peers walking the same path as you.

Josh Krammes

Co-Founding Advisor Of Hatchet Ventures

An organization that is built on integrity and authenticity has a much higher possibility of attracting the right kind of talent, the right kind of partners, and the right kind of participants. I’m so passionate about Founders Network’s mission and what they accomplish every day for that startup community

Eli Gassert

Founder Of Yunno

The founders in FN listen to my challenges and responds with valuable insights. It's like having my own personal advisory board. Except they're my peers. These founders have either done what I'm doing already, or are going through the same thing at the same time. Both perspectives are uniquely helpful.

Michael Meinhardt

Founder Of Cloudwords

By receiving 1-1 contact via the forum with fellow founders and investors, Founders Network led to my startup successfully raising and negotiating funding.

Becky Splitt

CSO Of StudyBlue

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.

Vishal Gurbuxani

Founder Of Captiv8

The collective expertise of other FN members is a huge value-add for me. Having access to their knowledge on the forum has been incredibly useful. There are some things that I just don't know. And this community is eager to answer my questions, no judgement.

Matt Monday

CEO Of Vital

The forum allows for instant access to a huge group of high caliber founders. What's interesting about Founders Network is that it's perfect for a person starting their first company, but also their second, third, and so on.

Linden Tibbets

Founder Of IFTTT

I'm a very technical person. Not big on the business side of things. Thanks to Founders Network, I've received valuable, actionable business advice from both founders and investors alike.

Chad Arimura

Vice President, Developer Relations Of Iron.io (Acquired 2017)

The 1-1 introductions on the platform are where I find the value. Tailored for my exact needs, the technology is personalized, and the FN team is always just an email or phone call away to help me manage my network.

Ryan Bennett

Author | Speaker | High-Performance Coach Of The Intentional Day

One email resulted in a full calendar of business meetings on my recent trip to NYC.

Michele Spiezia

Founder & CEO Of Ellysium Racing

Founders Network is a reliable, trustworthy, authentic group of unique founders tackling interesting problems. Being a part of the FN community means I'm able to help others and never feel alone in the journey.

Tony Clemendor

Managing Principal Of The Founders Forge

I have nothing but love and respect for what Founders Network has built and I'm proud to be affiliated with it. The collaborative spirit, humility and peer mentorship are a safe haven from the ever-hectic world of entrepreneurship. No one has all the answers, and the members of FN have helped me answer so many questions I didn't even know I had.

Chaitanya Vaidya

Founder Of Stealth

They say you are the average of the five people you spend time with the most. Success is all about connecting with the right people. FN is helping me gain valuable connections with smart, connected and experienced people in the valley. There is no better way to learn how to stand on your feet as an entrepreneur than having people who have "been there done that" mentoring you and rooting for your success.

Jamie Smyth

CEO Of The Smyth Group, Inc

This is the best professional network I've seen. The community is open, honest, encouraging and practical. While founders might hesitate to ask certain questions elsewhere that might betray "weakness" or doubt, FN lets me take advantage of the fact that everyone here has either gone through these things, or will do so. I'm free to ask my questions. Post my ideas. Talk about things that are working. Share warnings and celebrate wins. We're all here for each other.

Amy T. Wister

Co Founder & CEO Of RevShopp

This community is integral to my ability to "hang-on". Whenever I visit a new city, I have FN members there waiting to meet with me. To give advice on my startup and investing, or just to swap war stories.

Mike Mack

Co-CEO / Co-founder Of Variate Health

Founders Network has allowed me to build lasting, personal relationships virtually— a feat not easily accomplished. I'm connected with the right founders quickly, and the forum allows for easy, fast communication. Then, at the fnSummit every year, I get to spend a couple days meeting those who've helped me, but this time in person. It's a perfect balance.

Andrew Jones

COO Of CarForce

Got an investor, met my co-founder, and got hooked up with a full time position at another startup— all through Founders Network.

Mischa Steiner

CEO Of Awesense, Inc.

I’ve really enjoyed becoming a member of Founders Network. Members are not only helpful, but eager to help their fellow founders. It’s not just a place where you can go and receive help and advice, but is an opportunity for seasoned founders to give back to fledging founders in a meaningful way that has real impact. It has been a true pleasure to be involved.
