Startup Club

Giving and taking chances on ourselves and others.

The chances one gives are just as important as the chances one takes.

At Startup Club, we bring entrepreneurs and investors with similar interests and challenges together for one-on-one virtual coffee conversations where members ask the following:

  1. How can I help you?
  2. How can we give a chance to someone else?

Why Join Startup Club?

Community For Startup Leaders

Startup Club is an exclusive, invite-only community that connects founders, venture capitalists, and angel investors based on specific challenges, industry focus, and entrepreneurial goals.

Private Social Network

Connect One-on-One

We connect you with a different leader from the Startup Club monthly for a one-on-one virtual coffee conversation to share goals and challenges and offer mutual support. Members also receive full access to our member directory and rich profiles for direct connections with fellow members.

Verified Founders & Investors
