• Build yourself. Support each other. Grow together.

The Founder First Circle

A free online community connected to Build the Founder First, where founders encourage one another, share experiences, provide accountability and build businesses without losing themselves in the process.

You may be building your own business, but you don't have to build alone.

Build the Founder First

We believe the founder matters just as much as the business. We come together to share, encourage, challenge and support one another, because building something meaningful should not cost us everything else.

Connection

Accountability

Sustainable growth

No founder should have to build alone.

We encourage one another and speak the truth with kindness.

We build businesses that support our lives, rather than consume them.

— The Community Rhythm

No homework, no pressure

Come as you are, take what you need, and leave with something useful every time.

You receive: a 90-minute online gathering each month; a Build the Founder First tool worked through together; a recap with the tool as a PDF; a reflection question for the month; weekly encouragement in our WhatsApp Community; introductions to founders you should meet.

Upcoming gathering dates

Free, via Zoom, 12 to 20 founding members. All sessions run online from 7:30pm to 9pm.
