A closed, verified platform where founders back each other — with capital, introductions and hard-won experience. Free to join. Impossible to fake your way in.
Reviewed personally. Your serial number is permanent — the earlier you join, the lower it is.
Deliberate by design. Every member verified. Every number permanent.
Tell us what you're building, your stage and where you're based. No pitch deck required. A short form and a LinkedIn or Companies House link. Reviewed personally.
If approved, you're issued a permanent serial number. #001 goes to the first external member. Numbers never change — they're your badge of when you believed.
Browse and offer perks. Attend founder and VC events. Connect with the community. When fundraising launches, raise from and invest in other verified founders.
Built in phases. Perks and community launch first. Fundraising follows once the network has weight behind it.
Founders offer their products and services to other founders at exclusive rates. A warm, verified client base for every provider.
Live at launchCurated startup events in one place. Free and paid. Members get early access and discounted tickets. Founders only in the room.
Live at launchPost roles. Find freelancers. Hire from a network where everyone on both sides has built something. No recruiters. No noise.
Phase 2Vetted VCs attend. Verified founders attend. Direct access to top investors.
Phase 3Raise from other founders through SPVs. Investors who've done the raise and bring more than just a cheque.
Phase 4Members who invest track their angel portfolio in one place. Clean, simple, built for operators.
Phase 5Quality over quantity. Always. We'd rather have 100 people who belong than 1,000 who don't.
Any stage, any sector, any background. Pre-product or post-Series A. Bootstrapped or VC-backed. All that matters is that you're a founder building something that could exist without you personally doing all the work.
We have deep respect for consultants and freelancers — they're just not the community we're building. The network only works if every person in the room is a founder. That filter is permanent.
#000 is our founder. #001 through #1000 are the people who built this alongside us. Early adoption is the rarest status there is. The lower your number, the earlier you believed. In this community, that means something.
