Founders 1st™

Founders 1st is a new type of community for early-stage founders. Built for those still in the midst of it — The doubt. The grit. The sweat. The heart. It's where real founders share real stories of late nights, isolation, struggles, mistakes, lessons, pivots, the growth, the burnt out, re-start and the unseen breakthroughs — Finally gets told on Founders 1st. Here you can find conversations that go beneath the highlight reel, emotional truths that rarely ever get airtime—and a diverse circle of founders and builders sharing insights into their founders’ journey. Founders, here you can show up as you are — messy, honest, in motion. No masks. No metrics. No pitch. No scripts. Just real talk. Sharing grit, lessons, and late-night honesty. This is where you are seen, before you are celebrated. Build, for Founders. By Founders. We are featuring Founders in the AI space next for Q3 and Web3 in Q4. If you are interested in sharing your story, and being features on our platform (podcast & social media outlets) please feel free to DM me.
