Where is the network

Deadlines and dates

Calendar Clock

We work in application rounds. They are consecutive – when one round closes, the next one opens so you can always apply to join FounderDating.

Each round has a deadline to apply. Once invited you’ll get online access to the ENTIRE network – across all cities!

To kick things off for each round we also hold an offline Kickoff (clever, we know). It’s a way for new members to meet and get introduced to the FounderDating community and values. But it’s just an introduction.

Online is where it’s at. Find your city for the dates and deadlines.
