Hey everyone! I'm looking to start a peer group for early-stage founders, ideally with the following:-Bootstrapping for now-Less than 2 years in -Digital business with some focus on community -Can meet morning ESTWe'd meet 2x/month to work through challenges and spark new ideas. Thanks!Edit: Email rachel@hellofacet.com if you're interested. Thanks!Full disclosure: I run a company that facilitates peer groups for entrepreneurs (https://www.hellofacet.com/), but I'm looking to create a group for me - sort of a testbed for new ideas/a format for me to get all the benefits of peer-to-peer too!

What are your goals for your business? Venture backing at some stage?

rcharlesworth·Nov 18

My business is likely not right for traditional venture, but open to alternative funding sourcing - not bootstrapping forever.

Happy to participate/help. I recently raised seed funding as a co-founder of a community-based digital mental fitness startup, but I’m full of ideas and have thought about, worked in, and invested in community-focused startups for most of my career. Based in SF, so ET mornings are tough. If you’re also looking for emotional support from peers along the startup journey, would love for you to give Pace a try for a season: https://pace.group/t/founders

Hi,Just sent you an email. I have Fitfannie, a beginners fitness app that I launched in May. Thanks for doing this. Hoping to connect. Girls, let's start by following on IG. Here is my IG https://www.instagram.com/fitfanniefitness/When you follow use ESG (for Elpha Support Group). It will become our code like Sisters of The Traveling Pants. It takes a team!
