Our founder
We will increase the chances of your startup succeeding,
Currently only 10% of startups succeed. We think we can help fix that.
We want to share advice grounded in expertise gained through years of experience mentoring startups.
​
And with a helping hand from a supportive community of people like you, the journey will be a little easier.
Learning from his own startups, Derek went on to specialize in mentoring startup owners. He is sharing what he learned to help a wider community of founders succeed.
Inspired by my own startup journey and informed by years of startup mentoring, I am on a mission to provide practical help and peer support to fellow startup owners. I want to help you to succeed where others may have failed before.

Our Approach
People Friendly Design
Simple
Professional
Our members deserve the highest level of integrity and we work tirelessly to be professional in all that we do. Member success is at the heart of everything that we do.
Engaging
Interactions you will love
We want every community member to make the most of what we offer. We will make our resources intuitive and easy to use.
Getting a startup off the ground and operating smoothly is not easy, but that doesn't mean that we can't explain things simply. We will use simple language and clear graphics whereever we can.
We empathize with startup owners and will make engagement with us an enjoyable experience. This applies to our website and community forum.
