What is FounderCulture?
FounderCulture is a community of ~700 Founders that help each other build world-changing companies by "paying it forward". Scaling Founders share their experiences with earlier-stage Founders so they don't make the same mistakes.
You can follow FounderCulture on LinkedIn, Twitter and TikTok. This is where we share the learnings from our Founder events.
A great way to get to know FounderCulture is to listen to our podcast.
FounderCulture runs a number of events for Founders -- if you are in town during one of our Meetups, you're welcome to join!
UnConferences like FriYay where Founders share expertise with each other
Industry dinners like our AWS dinner & OpenAI dinner where we go deep on industry topics
Meetups like our:

Founder Coaching sessions where scaling Founders share expertise with early-stage Founders
