Post a hard question you are facing (a term sheet, a difficult employee, a customer issue) and another founder in the WhatsApp typically answers within minutes. 99% of questions get an answer within a day. 89% of our active members both receive and provide support on business issues. When you need to go deeper, find 1:1 time with another community member.

Ask a question

  • Ask the group about fundraising, hiring, a difficult employee, a vendor recommendation or an investor term sheet you don't understand. You also get a small group of founders at your stage who hold you to what you said you'd do, intros to investors from our VC database, and private events across the city.

  • Membership is $40 a month, paid up front or quarterly. No members are paid, the funds go towards in-person events and software (Notion, Webflow, Lu.ma, etc.).

  • You need to be a founder from the New York City metro area with over either $3M raised or $250K of revenue per year. Then just apply for membership and get our response in a few days after completion.
