I'm building Founders Cafe because being a solo founder can be really tough. When I left Stanford to work on another startup, I lost 4 co-founders and a best friend. I woke up with anxiety, coded all day alone, and slept alone.
This community and 1:1 coaching was the only thing that pulled me out of that nightmare. They helped me get my shit together. Build a profitable business, get VC money, and have an amazing founder support network.
Since then, I've helped Siraj (Apple Pay/Google Pay exec), Robert (PearVC), Charles (prev raised 10M), and more get their first paying customers.
I use the frameworks that helped me build several business and get first paying customers in 1-2 months. I also draw from my experience getting tons of community members their first revenue.
