Entrepreneurs Invested In Each Other’s Success

Building a company is a uniquely challenging and often isolating experience. We built this community so you feel more connected, knowledgeable, and equipped on your founder journey. Our Community is hosted on Slack. We facilitate peer groups, office hours with mentors, fireside chats with successful founders, and workshops with domain experts. And it’s free to join!

Founder Testimonials

“Founded Outdoors has been a gamechanger for the outdoor industry. Prior to starting Bewilder, I spent over a decade working in digital journalism. I had zero connections in the outdoor industry. I’m now on the board of Together Outdoors, and I have an incredible community of outdoor founders.”

- Yvonne Leow, Founder of Bewilder

“Founded Outdoors has enabled me to connect with like-minded small business founders so we can easily work together on solving common problems. And it’s done in a very convenient way that values my limited time – through a Slack group, a regular cadence of peer outreach groups, and webinars on a variety of topics. The Founded Outdoors team has done a great job of getting us all connected. I wish I’d had this when we were starting up years ago.”

- Niki Singlaub, Founder of Hydaway
