We're redefining what business is all about

Ever wanted a Business Group that was more about:

If So... Don't Worry You're Not Alone!

Founders & Friends is a support group and community for like-minded solo business founders.

It’s a group that is more about the social, learning and supportive side of business. Many solo-founders often feel alone, unsupported and lack social interaction, so we wanted to offer something unique to this overlooked bunch.

All our members are hand-picked, so you can rest assured they’re just like you!

Importantly, Founders & Friends is designed around MAKING FRIENDS NOT SALES. 

So come and see what we’re all about.

Our Founder Events

Founders Forum

The Founder Forum

Our monthly Forum event is held on the first Monday of the month. It’s a safe space to meet likeminded solo-founders all who want to support, learn, make friends and share their own founder experiences. Each month we cover:

  • Those Big Business Wins
  • Our Current Challenges
  • A Thought Provoking Discussion Topic

There are NO pitches, business cards or hard sales. We’re all about making friends… NOT SALES.

*As our group is exclusive in nature, places are limited to 15 per event on a first come first serve basis.

Founder Socials

At certain times of the year we say goodbye to the business chat and instead get together to hang-out and have a good time!

We have social events planned for Summer and Christmas, plus others in the pipeline – So watch this space. 

The Speaker Series

As solo-founders we need scheduled time for self-development and a place to get inspired, motivated and believe anything is possible.

That’s why we invite special guests to come along and share their story, experiences and vast knowledge with the group. 

We believe that knowledge is power and it’s why we’re giving our solo-founders the insights they need to succeed on their journey.

Our Speaker events are held every second month.

Coffee & Co-Work

A common scene being a solo-founder is often working alone, surrounded by the same four walls that stamp out your creativity and motivation. 

So we’re looking to change that with a monthly Co-Work session for our Founders to come along and enjoy a morning of co-working, social chats and some damn good food too – all with others who are just like you!
