Description
FounderLed is a paid, invite-only community for SaaS founders who want to further grow their startups. The community only accepts 10 new members a week.
To join, you have to fill an application form to get on the waitlist. The community only accepts 10 new founders every Friday. On Monday, members welcome the new founders added to the community in a video call. New members prepare a short, one-slide presentation to introduce themselves to the group and begin to interact with others. Introductions can later continue in the online group's Intros channel.
The online group is the main communication channel. Inside, members interact and share knowledge with each other. You can find the main channel, which is intended for general discussion ("Discuss"). There is also a Founder Directory, and an AMA to ask questions to founders who have bootstrapped to $1M.
On the other hand, there are dedicated channels for different stages of revenue when building a startup. The channels are: pre-launch, 10K challenge, $0-$1M, $1-5M, and $5+. To know founders in different stages of growth will help you to get useful insights for growing your startup further.
Lastly, the community has several resources that can help SaaS founders. For example, there is a Template Directory. This channel includes resources like incentive structures templates for launching affiliate programs. There are also directories and lists. Examples of these types of resources are the SDR firms directory, the development shops list, and the exclusive discounts + codes lists. This last one will allow you to find special offers in companies that can be a huge help for a startup. FounderLed's resources also include the more traditional guides and articles, such as the User Acquisition Playbook.
