Ploughback Arc Founder Community

This is a short application for the Ploughback Arc Founder Community. We read every one personally. We are looking for founders who are building seriously and treating finance as a growth function and not a compliance obligation. If that is not where you are yet, this community will still be here when you are.

Your Name

Your Startup Name

Email

Phone Number

We send acceptance via WhatsApp. This is the number we will message you on.

Your LinkedIn profile URL

Paste your full LinkedIn URL. We look at every application alongside the profile. It takes 30 seconds and it tells us more than any form field can.

Which city are you based in?

What stage is your startup right now?

Pick the option that is closest to where you are today

What does your finance function look like today?

What is the one finance question keeping you up right now?

Be specific. Not "I want better financial visibility." The founders who get the most from this community are the ones who arrived with a real problem and left with a real answer. We read every single one of these.

Are you planning to raise in the next 12 months?

If you are unsure, pick the option that reflects your current thinking, not your ideal plan.

Yes — actively preparing right now

Yes — within the next 6 months specifically

Possibly — not a firm decision yet

No — focused on building right now

Are you interested in attending After Hours, our in-person founder finance events?

Yes — tell me when the next one is in my city

Maybe — depends on timing and location

No — I am here for the online community only
