THE STARTUPS SUPPORT SYSTEM
ISN'T DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
Founders are expected to do everything,
know everyone,
and get it right the first time,
Alone.
There’s no shortage of founder programs, resources, or funding
Across the country, operators, investors, and mentors are doing exceptional work to back startups
But it’s all disconnected
And founders are left stitching it all together on their own

Until I stepped into Fishburners and saw others—some playing pool, others deep in convo about their startups—I realised I wasn't.
