We are a tightly-knit community of founders who’ve met each other through Columbia University.
We want to keep our community small but do occasionally take in exceptional founders who we think we can help succeed and are willing to pay it forward when they do.
CIRCLE OF TRUST
Our community brings together smart, creative, like-minded people with a bias toward action. You could describe us as a collective support system built for founders by founders. Besides peer support, we can connect you with trusted investors, help find talent, and provide a true sense of community.
We work with a trusted network of alumni investors and corporate partners. We carefully vet the investors and potential partners that we introduce to our community. If you’re an investor and would like to introduce yourself to our founders, please contact us through our existing members.
