The best customers come from someone they trust.
That is the whole idea. We introduce you to founders the way a friend would, not the way an ad does.
Founders hear about you from us.
On stage at our events, in the newsletter and podcast, and on FSC Deals. A recommendation from a community they already rely on.
Only the founders you want.
Share your ideal customer and target accounts. We find who in our network knows them and make the introduction.
You see every result.
Every click, claim, intro and closed deal shows up in your partner portal, so you always know what the partnership is doing.
Send us your target accounts. We find who knows them.
For each account, we check whether FSC already knows someone there and through whom. Where we do, a warm intro replaces a cold email. Where we do not, we plan outbound with you by email, LinkedIn and event invites.

Built around what you sell.
No menu, no tiers. Tell us who you want to reach and we put together the partnership that gets you there, with terms tied to results.
Your offer on FSC Deals with a tracking link, reviews from founders who used you, and intro requests sent straight to your team.
We match your target accounts against the FSC network and make the intro when both sides want it.
Host or sponsor a dinner, pitch night or happy hour, and show up in the newsletter and content we record on site.
Every partnership is quoted one on one, based on what you sell and what you want from FSC. We hop on a call, agree the terms, and you sign online. Then you build your listing in the partner portal, where every claim, intro and deal is tracked.

Questions
Who is in the FSC audience?
Pre-seed to growth stage founders, including founders from YC, Speedrun and other accelerators, plus the operators and investors around them. 40,000+ people follow FSC, and we host in person in San Francisco, New York and Austin.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you sell and what you want from us. Some partners pay per qualified meeting, some a share of revenue, some a flat fee per closed deal, some a mix with an event or newsletter feature on top. We put it in writing before anything goes live, and every claim is tracked so the numbers are clear.
I am an advisor or coach. How does it work?
You get a profile founders can rate and sessions they can book and pay for through FSC. We agree the split with you up front.
Do you take every partner?
No. We only list companies we would recommend to a friend anyway, and every listing is reviewed before it goes live.
Who can review us?
Only founders who have worked with you. You can reply publicly to any review. That is what makes a good rating worth something.
Will you share member names with us?
No. You see that a warm path to a target account exists and what kind it is. We make the intro, with both sides opting in.
