Behind every great founder - there should be a community of supporters
Founderhut exists because we know what it’s like to build a business and that it takes support to grow it!
We’ve been in the trenches; chasing big ideas, facing the unknown, and navigating the highs and lows of running a small business. That’s why we built Founderhut: a community and support system for founders, by people who truly get it. We’re not just here to cheer you on from the sidelines. (Although we will 100% do that too!) We’re here to walk alongside you. Whether you need: * Funding, technology, staffing, growth or any other business advice * A sounding board for ideas * Connections for collaboration, partnerships and a network Or just someone who understands what 2 a.m. self-doubt feels like we’ve got you! At Founderhut, we bring together local growth hubs, experienced mentors, meaningful events, tailored and helpful advice and a growing network of founders who share one belief: no one should have to build alone. We exist to make starting and growing a business less lonely, more supported, and a lot more human.Upcoming Events
