A recurring morning meetup for founders, hosted at Sisters Coffee Company in the Pearl District of Portland. The objective is simple: connect with fellow founders, talk candidly about what you are struggling with, and get to know the people building companies around you. founder.coffee works as a peer support network for business owners, a place to trade information, compare notes on hard problems and help each other out rather than pitch. Selling is explicitly not allowed, which keeps the room useful for the people actually running things. Open to founders at any stage, from pre-idea to post-revenue. Hosted by Josh Carter and Mark, and listed on the UpStart Collective community calendar. Free to attend; RSVP through the Luma event page. Expect a small, conversational group rather than a formal program, with no speakers, slides or agenda.
