"Under normal circumstances founders need ways to share the challenges of entrepreneurship with other founders ~ today isn’t normal. With the sudden onslaught of COVID-related challenges, more than ever, founders need peer support.
Today we are launching a product to meet this need."
- John Borthwick
Each 8-person cohort will provide intimate and confidential support for founders as they navigate running a startup during this crisis.
Circle cohorts meet virtually once a week for 1 hour, so you don’t have to be in NYC to participate, and applications are open to all (not just Studios members).
We will build the first few cohorts on a rolling basis, as applications come in until all of the spots are filled.
Each curated group of seven participants is led by an experienced entrepreneur. Many of them are founders of our portfolio companies.
