Peer Therapy
Founder Therapy · a Peer Therapy community

Connect with founders who get it.

Honest, thoughtful conversations about building a company are surprisingly rare. Founder Therapy makes space for small groups to talk through real situations, decisions and questions together.

What founders bring.

The questions change with the stage of your company. These come up often.

  • Finding your first customers, or keeping them as you grow.
  • Which role to hire first.
  • When to raise, or whether to raise at all.
  • A disagreement with your co-founder about strategy, or about who is carrying what.
  • Keeping your culture as the team grows.
  • Learning to trust and delegate.

Enough time to really talk it through.

1

Come as you are

Bring whatever you're turning over this month. Everything is fair game.

2

Talk it through

You share your situation with other founders who've dealt with similar things. They ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share what they did.

3

Leave with confidence

Sometimes it's a practical next step. Other times, just hearing how others see the same situation is enough to clarify what to do next.

5–7 FOUNDERS · 1 MODERATOR · 90 MINUTES

The conversation doesn't end when the evening does.

A month later, someone from your group asks how the new hire is working out. You tell them. They tell you about their raise.

What they say afterward.

"Listening to others and finding that I'm not alone… it's amazing."

A few honest questions.

Is this clinical therapy?

No. It's a conversation among founders about the situations they meet in building a company.

Do I need to prepare?

No. Come with something on your mind: a situation, a decision or a question is enough.

What happens to what I share?

What we share stays between us. How it works says what that means in practice.

What if there's no chapter in my city?

You can still ask to join and tell us where you are. If you'd like to bring Founder Therapy to your city, we can help you start a chapter.

Are events in person or remote?

Events take place in person or remotely, and each one says which.

Can I join another community too?

Yes, you can request to join more than one.

What does it cost?

Each event has its own price, shown before you register.

Come meet your peers.

Bring a situation, a decision, or a question. We'll talk it through together.
