What do other founders think?

Want to find out how our members are using Founders’ Network to grow their businesses? Read here.

“It’s very lonely and tough being an entrepreneur, so I think there’s a need in the market for natural support and bouncing ideas off people. I think Founders’ Network very much has that vibe about it.”

— Stuart Megarry, Founder, Koala

“Founders’ Network has given me the opportunity to connect and partner with Halil. I have to travel two hours to get to any relevant networking events, so we would probably have never met.”

— Carly Britton, Co-founder, Babble

“It’s nice to have that network of support when you’re working from a small office or spare bedroom and you’re rarely engaging with people on a daily basis.”

— Dana Dyksterhuis, Co-founder, Here For You For Them
