Mastermind: Join an Exclusive SaaS Founder Community
We know that founding a company can sometimes be a long and lonely journey. That’s why we started Mastermind, an exclusive SaaS founder community. Mastermind gives early- and expansion-stage founders a built-in community of peers to learn from and share with plus exclusive access to the top minds in SaaS who have been there and done it before.
The Mastermind Founder Community gives founders dedicated resources, access to functional experts, and opportunities to connect with their peers while they build and grow their businesses.
New Tracks & Sessions
Mastermind was initially founded based around the 11 principles of product-led growth. And while PLG is still a main focus of Mastermind, we’re excited to offer two additional tracks – go-to-market and vertical SaaS – to help you grow your business. You can pick the path that fits your business best or join all three!
Check out specific programming and upcoming sessions below through the rest of this year.
If you’re ready to become a Mastermind today, you can join here.
