TRUSTED BY GREAT FOUNDERS


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the membership experience like?
FN is easily integrated into your daily routine. With our intelligent
distribution system, we extend the information flowing through our platform to
other channels that you are already monitoring, such as slack and email. We
support many kinds of engagement, including over 100 events a year, our Online
Forum and 1-1 support from our Success Team. Our busiest members usually end up
as some of our best members.
Is my activity on FN going to be confidential?
All information shared within Founders Network is strictly confidential. We are
built on a foundation of trust, and the community takes confidentiality
seriously. Investors, members, and staff all share experiences and opinions off
the record.
What is your service level agreement?
The Founders Network staff is full time and promises to respond to emails, phone
calls, and messages via the website in under 24 hours, Monday-Friday. All emails
sent Sat-Sun will be answered the following Monday.
What will my dues be?
Your membership dues are based on your experience as defined by the the funding
or revenue of your current or past companies. All memberships are annual
commitments. We do not take equity.
Can I upgrade later?
Upgrades are always available, and each level comes with a higher level of
benefits, and features geared towards founders with more experience. We
encourage joining at the appropriate level based on your past experience as this
will impact the quality of your membership experience.
How does Founders Network handle direct competitors in the network?
We believe collaboration moves startups forward. Founders can share 90% of their
general questions and experiences on the forum. The other 10% that includes IP
or "secret sauce" can be shared at their Peer Advisory Board. Your local Peer
Advisory Board will never contain any direct competitors to your startup.
Do you offer discounts?
We currently offer discounts to portfolio members of tier 1 VC's like Accel,
Andreesen Horwoitz, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,
Benchmark, Greylock Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and graduates of select
accelerators including Y-Combinator, 500Startups, TechStars and Blue Startups.
If your VC or accelerator is not on the list, please contact us to see if you
qualify for a discount.
How are you different than an accelerator?
Founders Network is a community that can work in place of, alongside, or
bookending an accelerator. Unlike an accelerator, we do not take equity and we
do not limit your time with us. FN strives to facilitate meaningful
relationships with a network of peers who can help you get through any challenge
and celebrate every achievement.
Does FN endorse members visa applications?
Yes. Per US Immigration Policy, FN only endorses members who have demonstrated a
record of extraordinary achievement within the context of membership. This can
include membership tenure greater than 3 years, status as a Lifetime Member
and/or volunteer leadership through a Chapter or other initiative. We will not
endorse your visa application under any other circumstances.
