The daily decisions and painstaking slowness of learning by trial and error often brought me to the brink of burnout, but keen insights and moral support from other founders never failed to extend my financial and emotional runway.<\/p>\n<p>I envisioned a confidential space where tech startup founders could help each other avoid the many hidden risks to both start-up success and founder wellbeing. In 2011 this idea became Founders Network. Here, remarkably generous founders share experience daily to solve problems, save time and navigate the journey to success.<\/p>\n<p>Today, over 600 tech founders share our vision of lifelong success through peer mentorship. It\u2019s humbling and inspiring to see our members\u2019 contributions and achievements. As we expand to 25 cities globally, we\u2019ll be looking for more great founders to make their contributions to FN. If you\u2019d like to see if you qualify, please request an invite.<\/p>\n<p>-Cheers, Kevin Holmes, Founder<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e24387-e33 mitf-0 mitf-1 mitf-4\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e24387-e34 mitf-8 mitf-9 mitf-a mitf-b mitf-c mitf-d mitf-n mitf-u\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24387-e35 mitf-14 mitf-1b\"><i class=\"x-icon e24387-e36 mitf-2m mitf-2o mitf-7\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf10d;\"><\/i><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e37 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-20 mitf-21 mitf-29 mitf-2a mitf-2b\"><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">You\u2019ll learn more in The Founders Network Forum daily than most courses you ever waded through.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-div e24387-e38 mitf-1f mitf-1g mitf-1i mitf-1j mitf-1l mitf-1n mitf-1q\"><span class=\"x-image e24387-e39 mitf-38 mitf-3a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foundersnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Galen-Buckwalter.png\" width=\"212\" height=\"212\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><div class=\"x-div e24387-e40 mitf-1l mitf-1n mitf-1r\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e41 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-1x mitf-1y mitf-20 mitf-24 mitf-27\"><p><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Galen Buckwalter<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e42 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-1x mitf-1y mitf-20 mitf-27 mitf-2c\"><p>Serial Entrepreneur, Chief Scientist at eHarmony<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e24387-e43 mitf-14 mitf-1b\"><i class=\"x-icon e24387-e44 mitf-2m mitf-2o mitf-7\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf10d;\"><\/i><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e45 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-20 mitf-21 mitf-29 mitf-2a mitf-2b\"><p><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The Founders Network staff ensures value with thoughtful conversations and warm introductions.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-div e24387-e46 mitf-1f mitf-1g mitf-1i mitf-1j mitf-1l mitf-1n mitf-1q\"><span class=\"x-image e24387-e47 mitf-38 mitf-3a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foundersnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BECKY-SPLITT.png\" width=\"212\" height=\"212\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><div class=\"x-div e24387-e48 mitf-1l mitf-1n mitf-1r\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e49 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-1x mitf-1y mitf-20 mitf-24 mitf-27\"><p><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Becky Splitt<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e50 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-1x mitf-1y mitf-20 mitf-27 mitf-2c\"><p><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">CEO of StudyBlue, 15M users<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e24387-e51 mitf-8 mitf-a mitf-b mitf-c mitf-d mitf-j mitf-k mitf-n mitf-v\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24387-e52 mitf-10 mitf-11 mitf-14 mitf-15 mitf-16 mitf-1c\"><a class=\"x-div e24387-e53 mitf-1l mitf-1n mitf-1r\" href=\"\/testimonials\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e54 mitf-1u mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-1x mitf-1y mitf-24 mitf-27 mitf-2d\"><p>Read more testimonials<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e24387-e55 mitf-0 mitf-2 mitf-5\"><div class=\"x-row e24387-e56 mitf-8 mitf-9 mitf-a mitf-b mitf-l mitf-w\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24387-e57 mitf-10 mitf-14 mitf-15 mitf-17 mitf-1c mitf-1d\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e24387-e58 mitf-2p mitf-2u mitf-2x mitf-2y mitf-2z mitf-30\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">What is Founders Network?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e24387-e59 mitf-1v mitf-1w mitf-1x mitf-1y mitf-20 mitf-21 mitf-2e mitf-2f mitf-2g\"><p>Founded in 2011, Founders Network is a curated community of over 600 full-time tech startup founders from around the world.
