* Focused Networking: The community consists of serious post-seed stage founders, creating an environment conducive to learning from peers who are at a similar or more advanced stage in their startup journey.
* Advanced Entrepreneurship Focus: Unlike communities that cater to early-stage startups, PitchBase focuses on challenges associated with later stages, such as nailing product-market fit, raising funds from top VCs, scaling operations, and honing operational excellence.
* High-Caliber Membership: The network boasts of members who have achieved significant milestones such as Series-A or above funding, successful exits, IPOs, or substantial revenue generation, providing an opportunity to learn from those who have navigated these challenges successfully.
* Mutual Growth and Support: PitchBase functions as a board of advisors, where members support each other, sharing experiences to help avoid common startup pitfalls and accelerate growth.
* Personal Vetting: Each member is personally vetted, ensuring a high-quality, high-impact community.
* Stage of Startup: The PitchBase community is specifically tailored for serious founders who are beyond the initial seed stage of their startups, whether that's through securing post-seed investment or achieving significant growth through bootstrapping. This implies that the startup should have already developed a viable product or service and demonstrated some level of market validation, and is now looking to scale further.
* Funding or Revenue: Applicants are typically Series-A or above, indicating that they've successfully raised significant funding from investors. Alternatively, if a startup is bootstrapped, it should have a minimum revenue of approximately $5 million.
