FounderCoHo is a community where founders support each other by sharing knowledge and building connections. Starting a company is a brave endeavor. Many of us have faced numerous challenges and learned valuable lessons along the way. The founder's journey can feel lonely, as it's difficult to discuss its nuances with those who haven't experienced it firsthand. FounderCoho aims to be that supportive community where founders can share their stories and get fueled for their company-building journey.
