Founders move faster when they're connected.

Founding is a strange kind of lonely. You're surrounded by people — investors, employees, advisors, customers, your group chat — and yet the specific weight of the thing you're carrying is hard to explain to any of them.

The people who tend to get it are other founders. And the most reliable way to find them is in a room together.

Connected Founders is a newsletter. We send you the events worth showing up to — virtual and in-person, in the cities where founders actually build — along with a short, honest note on why each one might matter.

Founder dinners. Demo days. Off-the-record roundtables. Small meetups you won't find on LinkedIn. The occasional big conference that's actually worth the flight. Some free, some paid, some invite-only — and when they are, we'll tell you how to get in.
