What we’re about

Welcome to the Porto Startup Founders Collective, a private group exclusively for founders, co-founders, and mentors with firsthand experience as founders. Our mission is to create a trusted space where startup leaders can share challenges, exchange insights, and support one another in building successful ventures.

What We’re About:
This is not just another networking group. It’s a community for those who understand the journey of starting and scaling businesses—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Together, we tackle real-world challenges, celebrate successes, and explore ways to grow stronger as individuals and as a community.

Who Should Join:

  1. Founders and co-founders of startups at any stage.
  2. Mentors with direct experience as startup founders.
  3. Individuals committed to the ethos of “Pay it forward” and “We are better together”

Who This Group Is NOT For:

  • Investors looking for deal flow.
  • Vendors or consultants seeking business opportunities.
  • This is a private and founder-focused space.

What to Expect:

  • Honest, founder-to-founder conversations about the challenges we face.
  • Opportunities to brainstorm solutions, share successes, and offer peer-to-peer mentorship.
  • Events that prioritize meaningful connections and collaborative problem-solving.

If you're a founder or a mentor with firsthand entrepreneurial experience and you're looking for a supportive network, join us to connect, share, and grow together.

Note: This group is by invitation or approval only to maintain its focus and purpose.
