How a good one runs
What a good founders and startups plan looks like
Small tables instead of a crowd, a round of real introductions, and no pitching unless somebody asks. Everyone leaves with something they made, finished or not. Most plans land between 4 and 20 people: enough energy, still easy to learn names.
Tip for your first one: bring one sentence about what you do and one question you want answered. That is all the preparation you need.

Founders and startups questions
Do I need to be good at founders and startups?
No. There are no levels for founders and startups. People come for the company as much as the thing itself.
What does the $10 commitment do?
It is a hold on your card, not a charge. Show up and it is released. Cancel 24+ hours before and it is released in full. Cancel later and 50% is kept, unless someone from the waitlist takes your spot. If you do not show up, it is kept.
What if the host cancels?
Every hold is released automatically, and you get a message straight away. The same happens if the plan does not reach its minimum number of people.
Love founders and startups? Host it.
Keep it small, give it a theme, and do the introductions yourself so nobody has to work the room. Suggested hold: $10.
