Great founders come from everywhere, but finding the right people to partner with can be challenging. Helping founders build meaningful relationships within our network is the jumpstart that our incredible community provides. It’s an ecosystem to seek counsel, get unblocked, and maintain momentum – no matter where founders are in their journey or their stage.
