Our Story

FounderCulture is a global community of 700+ Founders who work together to "pay it forward"

and improve the odds for Founders to build world-changing companies.

​

We create intimate learning experiences under Chatham House Rule -- and we've had many events at this property!

 

These events include in-person + virtual events like:

• UnConferences like FriYay where Founders shared expertise with each other

• Industry dinners like our AWS dinner & OpenAI dinner where we go deep on industry topics

• Meetups like our:

  • Taco Tuesdays Meetup at SVB’s Experience Center in SF

  • Building the Future of AI Meetup where we do events like this Parlor Game

  • Women of AI Meetup with events like these

  • Chinese AI Technologists and Entrepreneurs 华人人工智能和创业 Meetup that meets in Chinese and does events like “How to build a business in US as a Chinese Entrepreneur”

  • **Early Stage Founder Meetup** where Machine Learning engineers from TikTok, LinkedIn & Google shared how they are looking for co-Founders

  • Even a Founder Glamping in the Woods Meetup group.

• Private Dinners like our Engineering Leaders dinner series with Eng VPs and CTOs like Sheen Austin (ex-infrastructure lead for Twitter under Elon Musk) who shared feedback like this, our Women in AI dinner series and our CS Leaders dinner series with customer success VPs from Meta, Gitlab and Armory

• Fire Pit evenings where Founders come to discuss their most pressing topics like Founder conflict (the #1 killer of startups), management problems, and other vulnerable topics

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

• Founder interviews where our podcast team chats with growth stage Founders and subject matter experts about the key to starting, scaling and succeeding in the startup world.
