Find your founder circle.
Weekly accountability with 3 other founders at your stage.
Apply once, get matched by stage and timezone, and show up for one focused hour each week to clear blockers and leave with next steps.
4 founders per cohort
Small enough for trust, large enough for perspective.
Matched by stage + timezone
Relevant conversations without schedule friction.
No pitching, just decisions
Focused on blockers, next steps, and follow-through.
Best fit for founders from MVP to $5k MRR. Idea-stage founders can still join the waitlist, but matching starts once you are shipping.

Clear next steps
Proof, not hype
You do not need a giant network. You need 3 founders who understand your stage.
Founder Connect is built for founders who want relevant feedback, weekly accountability, and a room small enough to be candid in.
4 founders, not 400
Small enough for honesty, large enough for useful perspective.
Matched by stage and timezone
Advice lands better when people are solving similar problems.
Focused on blockers, not intros
Sessions are for decisions, accountability, and next steps.
Useful this week, not someday
The goal is progress you can ship before the next session.
MVP builders
Finding the first repeatable customer conversations
Early traction
$1 to $1k MRR and trying to build consistency
Growing to $5k
Improving acquisition, pricing, and execution
Idea-stage founders can still join the waitlist, but matching priority starts once you have an MVP and real user feedback to discuss.
How it works
Short application, careful matching, one focused hour a week.
Apply in 2 minutes
Tell us your stage, blockers, timezone, and availability.
Get matched carefully
We group founders by stage, pace, and schedule fit.
Meet weekly
One focused hour to work through blockers and leave with commitments.
Keep the thread moving
Use the between-session chat when you need quick context or accountability.
Rate & iterate
If the fit is off, request a rematch instead of forcing it.
What happens if people don’t show up?
If only two founders show up, the session still runs. We prefer keeping momentum over canceling, and rematches protect the rhythm when attendance becomes a pattern.
Weekly rhythm
What your weekly circle actually gives you.
Not generic community noise. Each week has a simple structure designed to surface blockers, force decisions, and create follow-through.

Rate the fit, ask for a rematch, and move to a circle that is more useful.
