Frequently asked questions

This is for you, if

  • You are an early founder (idea to seed stage), having raised under $1M, OR you are a pre-idea founder, actively exploring one or more ideas with the intent to start in the next 6 months
  • You have a growth mindset (can demonstrate having proactively sought out learning opportunities) and collaborative spirit (seek to engage actively with peers and mentors)

This is NOT for you, if

  • You’re unable to commit the time and effort required (signup ONLY if you’re prepared to put in the work)
  • You are looking for cookie-cutter/tactical tools, rather than building long-term mindsets
  • You are looking for networking avenues, not learning and community

This is for you, if

You have an entrepreneurial mindset
You are deeply invested in learning and growth
You are passionate about something personally or professionally

More than 100 members are part of the ELD community. Many have started their companies, raised venture capital, and feel more confident in navigating their entrepreneurial journey.
