JOIN THE HOTBED COMMUNITY

We know talent is evenly distributed around the world, but opportunity and funding is not which is what we are on a mission to solve at Hotbed.

Building a company can be terrifyingly isolating. The highs, lows and everything in between isn’t something that is easy to share with people, which is why having fellow founders around you can keep you going through it all. 

Think of us like your BFF who will tell you that you have spinach in your teeth at the dinner party. We’re here for you, we want the best for you, and we’re going to make sure you go out to the world with your best foot forward.

the rules we play by…

If you’re on this page, you probably already know building a company is hard as hell. We know this, because we’re founders ourselves. By joining Hotbed, you’re agreeing to do things a little differently.

be a dreamer.

Big visions, ambition and unwavering optimism is what unites all our founders. We want to see you aim obscenely high, and achieve everything you ever wanted. Hotbed is a place to help each other win.

KINDness. always.

Kindness ain’t optional baby.

Gossip, aimless pessimism and snark is not welcome here. If you kill the vibes, you’re out.

keep it f*cking real.

We know, startup life is often scrappy and messy. This is a place where you can let your hair down (bald people, sorry! We love you too), and share your wins as well as what is keeping you up at night without fearing judgement.

Use your best judgement.

We are all adults here, and aren’t going to give you a long list of what to do and and what not to do. Just use your best judgement. We will remove members of the community at any time if we feel they are not respecting and supporting fellow members, or if they are being annoying (yes, these are our rules). We may give you a warning, but in certain situations, we may remove you instantly.

compassion + curiosity.

Founders in Hotbed are from 40+ countries. People come from all types of backgrounds, speak different languages and have wildly different lifestyles. Every member brings something new to the community, and all founders are expected to warmly welcome, respect and embrace each other’s differences.

seek to build friendships. not your linkedin network.

Members of Hotbed have gone on trips abroad together, invested in each other’s companies and have become one another’s customers. Relationships like this happen are born from genuine connection, not transactional interactions.

Save that money baby <3
