Ambitious founders
never build alone.
The club for founders who give first. Real friends, thoughtful introductions when it is a fit, and rooms worth showing up for, in San Francisco, New York, Austin and online.
Give first. Then ask.
That is the whole culture. The best founders in every vertical, helping each other win.
Give first
Make the intro, share the playbook, show up on launch day. Members help before they ask.
Find your people
Cofounders, design partners, first hires and friends who get what you are going through.
Get in front of investors
Pitch nights and demo days with investors who back your space, in person and online.
Grow together
Pre-seed to growth, every vertical. A club you stay in for the next decade, not one night.
Building a company is hard. It is easier with friends.
Make friends
Small dinners, happy hours and cowork days where founders actually get to know each other.
Build together
Share what works, ask for help, give feedback, and back each other on launch day.

How does membership work?
Membership is by application. Share your pitch, and if it is a fit, we welcome you in personally and walk you through everything.

How are partners chosen?
We vet every partner and negotiate a deal for founders before it goes live. Partners pay FSC, and we say so on every deal. Only founders who have worked with a partner can review them.
I run a company that serves founders. Can I become a partner?
Yes. Tell us about your company on the partners page and we will reach out.
