WE GET IT, a FOUNDER’S JOURNEY ISN'T EASY!

Building a startup is exciting. It's also lonely, frustrating and overwhelming. We know because we've been there. There's no playbook for first-time founders... yet.

"I'll never find funding."

"How do I build a MVP?"

"Is my idea even good enough?"

Where do I get my first 100 customers?

"I need a cofounder."

"I'm meeting all the
wrong people!"

"What is vesting?"

"It's time to give up and get a corporate job."

Cofounder and CEO

“TechGirl is what I needed when I started my first company. I wasted so much time and energy trying to figure out how to open that first door that would unlock all the other doors. Huge networking events, generic online platforms, random coffee meetups — there had to be a better way.”
