Find the people who get it. Saturday morning coffee and curated conversations with local builders.
Meet 12 new entrepreneurs over a relaxing breakfast in your city each month. When you are building something meaningful, it can feel isolating... whether you’re in year one or year fifteen.
The Founders Breakfast Club brings ambitious doers together at 9:00am every other Saturday in small, comfortable, intentionally curated groups designed for real connection and friendship.
No awkward networking.
No pitching circles.
Just meaningful conversation over coffee.
Seats are intentionally limited in each city.
Why The Founders Breakfast Club Exists
Entrepreneurship is a journey. Being your own boss is great, but it can be a little quiet. We started this club because the best part of the weekend is usually the conversation over breakfast...the kind where you don't have to explain your '9 to 5' because everyone already understands it.
No pitches. No agendas. Just a small table of 6–8 people talking about life, hobbies, and the occasional business win. Think of it as your local 'third place'... where you’re a person first and a founder second.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does membership cost?
Standard membership is $49/month. Membership does not cover the cost of food or drink; those are paid for by members individually at the dinners. Members can cancel anytime by clicking the cancelation request above.
What size are the breakfast groups?
Each breakfast is capped at 6-8 members to preserve conversation quality.
This is intentional. Large groups become networking chaos. Small groups allow for real conversation where everyone can participate.
Do I have to attend every breakfast?
No. We understand that life happens.
We'll send a confirmation message the Monday before each breakfast asking if you're available. You can opt in or out for that specific breakfast with no penalty.
We just ask that you let us know at least 48 hours in advance if you can't make it after confirming. Last-minute no-shows impact the experience for other members.
Will I meet the same people twice?
Our algorithm intentionally rotates your group each breakfast so you meet new people regularly.
Over 3-6 months, you'll meet 30-50+ different entrepreneurs in the Raleigh community. You'll naturally gravitate toward some members and can connect outside the official breakfasts through our optional activities
What if I'm not a "full-time" entrepreneur?
You don't have to be a full-time entrepreneur to join.
If you're a side hustler with serious ambitions, a corporate employee building something on the side, or someone in transition from traditional work to entrepreneurship... you're welcome here.
The key qualifier: Do you think like an owner? Are you building something? That's what matters.
Students without business projects or creative pursuits may not be the best fit, but having a day job doesn't exclude you
Can I bring a guest or a business partner?
Not to the curated breakfasts... these are members-only to preserve the matching integrity.
However, we host occasional open events (coffee walks, happy hours) where you're welcome to bring interested guests who might want to join the club.
I'm an introvert. Will I feel comfortable?
Yes. Many of our members identify as introverts.
The small group size (6-8 people) and curated matching help. You're not walking into a room of 50 strangers. You're meeting a handful of people who share similar challenges and communication styles.
