Hear directly from founders who are part of The Honest Founder community.
I wasn’t looking for another Slack group. I joined for the people and stayed because the conversations are genuinely useful.
CEO & Founder Coach Amp
🏆 Co-founded Kreuzwerker, bootstrapped it to 150 people and Exited.
It’s rare to find founders who care equally about building a great company and building a life they actually enjoy.
CEO & Founder Hubble
🏆 Ex-athlete. Played in the NFL for the Phil Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and Chicago Bears.
Founders often don’t have many places where they can be completely honest. This feels like one of them.
CEO & Founder Aurio
🏆 Exited company to Personio.
Within a few days I had already booked calls with founders I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise.
CEO & Founder Jamie
🏆 Grew jamie to multimillion ARR.
The best part isn’t the advice. It’s knowing there are other founders dealing with the same challenges.
CEO & Founder Navera
🏆 Ex-YC (S18), 15 years in trading, ex-Lehman Investment Banker.
The quality of founders here is exceptional. Within the first week I had conversations that changed how I think about my business.
CEO & Founder Moonlight
🏆 Former top-50 junior tennis player in Europe and multiple-time national champion. Now 36k customers and 2m online sales.
