Founders Guild | Hulm πŸš€

What makes YC special? We asked this question to several YC founders. A pattern emerged: community/network, accountability, and a shared hunger for success. πŸš€ Multiple founders mentioned "office hours" -- regular meet-ups with other talented founders to set goals 🎯, share progress πŸ“ˆ, hold each other accountable βœ… and plan the next steps 🦢 When you're surrounded by cracked teams aiming for the stars (e.g. hitting crazy MRR) 🌟, you'll naturally push yourself higher too. We're setting up Founders Guild - a space for the most aspirational Muslim founders, with the drive and traction to match. πŸ’Όβœ¨ How? This will be a small, exclusive & confidential group that meets to hold each other accountable. We will meet once-a-month at Hulm Club (Farringdon, London) and go round the table with each startup stating their goal (e.g. hit Β£100k MRR) for that month and how they plan to do achieve it (e.g. by closing 10 customers). Goals are recorded, other startups can give suggestions, then we re-convene a month later to discuss missed or achieved goals.
We will be asking every founder and company joining to sign an NDA - whatever's discussed at the guild stays in the guild.
Every team will set monthly goals, support each other, & succeed together, inshaAllah. 🀝
Only apply if you are a serious founders who can demonstrate traction (revenue &/or investment).
I'm Abdul-Rahman - a doctor, founder of Pillars & Jibreel, and the lead at Founders Guild, Hulm.

Logistics βš™οΈ

- Monthly meet-ups. IRL in Hulm (Farringdon). Virtual is not an option (no recordings either)
- Spaces: Only 10 startup spots available. We're looking for quality, not quantity.
- Day: TBC (weekday evening - e.g. last Thursday evening of every month)
- Strict IRL attendance is required. Only exceptional circumstances are allowed for missing them.
- Missing more than one meet-up results in expulsion from the group
- Strict confidentiality is required of all attendees (whatever is shared at the Guild meetings, stays there). Must sign an NDA. This ensures comfortable and safe environment for all founders at the Guild.
- You must be based in London (Farringdon) or willing to come to London for every meeting.
Please note: Every startup should bring something to the table. Quality of startups is our priority, not quantity.
