what we stand for
Our Mission
We support startup founders in their growth through the power of community and live in-person office hour events. While we also provide education and funding, our unique proposition lies in fostering a collaborative environment where founders can thrive.
Building Relationships
We prioritize genuine connections above all else. If you’re here just to grab information or funding, this isn’t the place for you.
No Brilliant Jerks
We value brightness and intelligence, but we won’t tolerate impatience or negative attitudes.
Be Engaged
A community only works if everyone is actively participating. We aim to provide enough value to keep everyone consistently engaged and contributing.

Save Time and Headaches

We pride ourselves on preparing our founders for the big moments. We allow any company to practice pitches to our Venture Partners, and provide genuine feedback in a safe environment, so you’re ready for the real thing.
