At Founders Creative, we are laser focused on creating a supportive and inclusive community that can help you propel your tech career forward. Our councils are led by industry veterans who are the powerhouse behind the mission and lead dozens of experts, who network regularly and serve as hubs of deep, practical knowledge.
Each council has a focus area such as product, engineering, marketing, and design. As well as vertical focus groups such as privacy and cybersecurity, healthcare, and climate. Our councils dive deep, offering substantial support to help you navigate the complex tech landscape and the nuances of growing in each of these fields.
No matter your tech track, you’ll find a supportive and inclusive group that has been there, done that and is open and willing to network and sponsor you. Founders Creative Team
