What makes a New York-specific founder community different?

We all know that New York is the highest-pressure operating environment in the country. We put you in the same room as people facing challenges similar to yours. You will experience sharper conversations, relevant advice, and long-lasting relationships.

What industries are most represented in the NY chapter?

There is no definitive niche when it comes to industries, but tech, finance, real estate, media, e-commerce, and consumer brands definitely outnumber the rest. Every member is vetted, so the experience and ambition meter stays consistent.

Does membership include access beyond the New York chapter?

Yes. You will gain access not only to the local New York chapter but also to the wider national network. It gives you the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals locally and across the globe.
