Get Involved
The gatherings are where it starts. Everything below is how it sticks.
Stay connected between gatherings
DFC is more than events. We match founders for 1-on-1 coffee, build small groups around shared activities, and host every gathering inside a space built by one of our members.
Here's how to get involved.
Coffee Chats
Every month, we pair you with a founder you should know. Tell us what you're building and what you're working through, we'll match you with someone worth sitting down with.
Matches go out the first week of each month.
Join or Start a Pod
Small groups of members built around a shared activity, golf, pickleball, poker, running, wine tastings, whatever you're into.
Pick your favorites or pitch one that doesn't exist yet. Pods go live once they hit 7 members.
Host Our Next Gathering
Every DFC gathering takes place in a space built by a member, a restaurant, a home, a studio, a rooftop.
When you host, the community shows up to support you. You share your story. The room gets to experience it firsthand.
Raise & Invest
DFC exists to support builders. When founders need capital, we connect them with a curated group of angels and operators in our community.
For Founders
Raising Capital?
Submit your round to DFC's curated investor network. We occasionally share select opportunities with angels and operators we know personally. We're selective because our founders trust us to be.

Investors respect confidentiality. Founders trust the process. That's how this works.
