Founder Fridays

For founders, by founders.

Launched on River: February 2, 2024

Local meetups for founders to discuss their biggest challenges and share learnings. These mastermind groups are exclusively for startup founders — absolutely no agency owners or service providers. This Week in Startups is focussed on keeping things small and consistent, which builds trust and context among the local founders to help each other at a global scale. Each month, the Founder Fridays team sets the programming which ranges from biggest challenge, to best customer acquisition strategy, to fundraising.

"River helps All-In & This Week in Startups discover and activate the top 1% of fans, which are worth 100x more to us. We’ve been trying to find a solution for this, and “TEDx in a box” didn’t exist before. With River, 1 community manager can now do the work of 3-4 community managers."
