Dev Founders is a community for founders building products for developers, data scientists, ML practitioners, and creators of all skill levels (everything from complex to no code).
Dev Founders is run by Chang Xu of Basis Set and Rez Khan (Co-founder of Pace, ex-MongoDB). We're a team of founders, builders, and technologists, and have leaders across our team and in our community that have launched and run some of the fastest growing companies in technology. Our goal is to bring people together and democratize access to expertise typically only available to a select group of people in silicon valley.
Although Dev Founders is funded by Basis Set, it only has a loose affiliation in that its goal is for founders to help each other and not for investment purposes. For example, we encourage founders to self-organize on topics or groups that are interesting to you, and we are happy to provide logistical support, if helpful, but do not have to participate.
You can join Dev Founders either by applying or by being referred by a current member. Membership applications are reviewed by a group of volunteers to ensure that we continue to serve founders building in our target markets.
We have programming tailored to founders at different stages. Most members will join the Dev group and enjoy all the programming as well as community. If you’ve already raised Series A funding, we will induct you into the Prod group where you get exclusive access to events and channels to help you recruit and get customers.
As a member of Dev Founders, you are part of a close-knit community. Involvement in the community includes regular attendance at events and participation on Slack community. Co-create this community, suggest ideas for events and bring in awesome people as speakers. If another member has a question, share your experience on what worked or what didn't work for you. Our goal is to maintain an active, thriving group.
If you would like to deepen your involvement, raise your hand and we would love to involve you in the rotating committee of members that volunteer to run core areas of the community.
Anywhere. The community is default global. Though in the future we may have in-person meetups.
