Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a solo journey. One of the fastest ways to learn—and one of the best ways to stay motivated—is to connect with other founders who are facing many of the same challenges.
We have seen firsthand how the right peer community can provide honest feedback, practical advice, valuable introductions, and encouragement during both the highs and the lows of building a company.
Here are three entrepreneur communities we’re proud to support. Although they began and are based in Silicon Valley, today they bring together founders and startup leaders from around the globe to learn from one another and build better businesses.
Bootstrappers’ Breakfast focuses on serious conversations among founders. The Bootstrappers’ Discord and Linkedin Group provides on-going support. It is a good way for entrepreneurs to compare notes, exchange ideas and brainstorm with others.
Lean Culture provides world-class resources for startups. Lean startup is a startup methodology which aims to reduce the market risks and minimize capital requirements by adopting a combination of business-hypothesis-driven experimentation, iterative product releases, and validated learning. Check out the meetup group for upcoming events and see our SKMurphy channel for past events.
Lean Startup Circle – Silicon Valley, we have been a long-time supporter and mentor to lean startups.
