This Week @ Founders Common

Where Builders of All Kinds Come Together

Last week, our communities on both coasts pushed boundaries together – with San Francisco founders taking the plunge at Alchemy Springs while New York's community gathered at Othership.

These parallel experiences, from coast to coast, showcase the energy and commitment of our members to push beyond their comfort zones and forge meaningful connections. It's incredible to see how these shared experiences create the foundation for lasting relationships and collaborative growth.

We're thrilled to announce our expansion to Singapore, with our first Founders Run & Coffee launching this week! This milestone represents not just geographic growth, but the spreading of our vision: building a global community where founders support each other in living their best lives, personally and professionally.

Last Week at Founders Common

Our Founders Run and Social at Othership in NYC brought together over 30 members for a morning of movement and connection, while our San Francisco community explored wellness at Alchemy Springs. The enthusiasm and energy at both events proved once again that some of the strongest relationships are built through shared experiences.

Wealth

In our fireside chat with Kristen Long of KLC Communications, we dove deep into the world of startup PR. Key insights shared:

• Effective PR is a marathon, not a sprint – building awareness through consistent, authentic communication

• Choose PR partners who truly understand your industry and align with your company culture

• The most impactful PR campaigns combine timeliness with authenticity, finding organic ways to join relevant conversations

P.S. Members! The full chat recording will be available in our digital clubhouse soon.

Looking Ahead

Mark your calendars for our special fireside chat on High-Performance Health with Max Marchione, Co-Founder of Superpower, on February 23rd @ 10 AM in NYC. We're partnering with Superpower and Shanti House for an intimate session exploring the intersection of founder health and peak performance. The morning kicks off with a guided meditation by Louisa Li before diving into discussions about proactive wellbeing and the future of longevity.

What We're Built On

• Consistency creates community. Real relationships don't form at one-off events – they develop through regular, meaningful interactions.

• Barrier-to-entry matters. The people who show up at 7 AM to run or brave a cold plunge are the ones we want to know.

• Shared values connect us. Whether it's prioritizing health or building innovative companies, our community is united by common principles.

• Authenticity through activity. When you're sweating together or challenging yourself, real connections naturally form.

• Community first, always. We're not here to pitch – we're here to build genuine relationships with fellow founders.
