Bring More Support to Your Founder Community

Introduce the founder with context about the company, its stage and the challenge it is trying to address. That gives our team a starting point for discussing relevant support with the founder. Your community can remain part of the conversation where appropriate; how updates are shared should reflect the founder’s preferences and the arrangement discussed with the teams involved.

Yes. York IE runs workshops and produces content on the topics founders face, including product development, GTM, finance, pricing and AI.

Start with a topic that matters to your members and a format that fits your programming. Our teams can then discuss contributions, timing and promotion for that activity. Co-marketing should build on what makes your community useful to its members.

Tell us about your members, your existing programs and the support you would like to add. We can explore how operating expertise, educational content, events or ecosystem connections could contribute. A useful starting conversation identifies the audience, the need and an opportunity for both teams to work together. Specific activities and any member engagements can be discussed from there.
