More than 100 events a year run in person and online, including chapter meetings in tech hubs such as San Francisco, Silicon Valley and New York, peer roundtables and two annual conferences in Northern California (fnIRL and fnSummit).
Membership is organized by stage: Launch for idea-stage founders, Scale for founders raising seed funding, and Lead for experienced founders scaling a company or starting again after an exit. There are also sector programs for areas such as AI, fintech, healthcare and enterprise software.
