Eligibility

How can I join the community?

The only criterion is abiding by community principles and beholding community values

Get involved, participate actively, & share love!

Community Principles

Putting founders first, giving before you take, and having an intense love of place are essential values in a startup community.

Entrepreneurs MUST Lead

Entrepreneurs must be the center of the community because they have lived the journey with its pains and rewards

Startup communities can not controlled

No one is in the position of controlling the community, in fact, no one even has the capability of doing so. Everyone is a contributor, no one is a controller

Networks of trust, not hierarchies

There is no room for structured hierarchy, instead, social capital and informal norms that help resources flow among members based on good faith, commitment, and stewardship

Inclusive for anyone who wants to participate

The community welcomes any entrepreneur regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, or gender but only if they respect the community values and principles

Openness, support, and collaboration
