The mission.
Founders Walks was built around the ancient proverb "those who walk with the wise shall themselves become wise".
Every month, vetted entrepreneurs in cities around the world are paired for walks.
The goal is real conversations, outside, with founders who can share wisdom, perspective, and encouragement.
Our Founders go for a walk and come back with either an advisor, co-founder, or lifelong friend. We believe: you’re one walk away from a different business and a different life.
Better than any networking event I've ever been to. Feels like an actual community I want to be a part of.
How it works.
Founders Walks is a vetted, membership-based network connecting entrepreneurs across the world's major cities through intentional monthly walks.
Every month, you are paired with a carefully selected founder in your city for a one-hour walk.
You determine the time and location. We handle everything else.
Receive your curated matches on the 1st of each month.

Meet, walk, and build relationships that compound.

Got questions?
Who is Founders Walks for?
Founders Walks is for founders, entrepreneurs, and operators who want to meet like-minded people outside the usual networking scene. If you value depth over small talk, you will feel at home here.
How does it work?
Once accepted, you will be matched on the 1st of each month with a carefully selected founder in your city for a one-hour walk.
We make the introduction, and you coordinate the time and location.
When are matches sent out?
Matches are sent on the 1st of each month so you have a clear, predictable rhythm for meeting other founders.
Which cities are available right now?
We are currently focused on Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bali, London, and New York. More cities will come in the future, but right now our priority is building an exceptional experience in these core locations first.
Have you launched yet?
We are currently forming our first cohort. Early members can join as Founding Members and secure their place ahead of launch in their city.
What if my city is not listed yet?
You can still apply through the application to secure a spot on the waitlist.
As we expand, new cities will be added over time, and waitlist members will be first to hear when we open in their area.
How long is each walk?
Each Founder Walk is designed to last around one hour, making it easy to fit into a busy week while still creating space for a meaningful conversation.
Can I choose my walk preference?
Yes. You can choose male-only, female-only, or mixed walks when you join.
How much does membership cost?
Our current Founding Member plan is $14.99/month, billed monthly, and founding members lock in the lowest rate going forward.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Membership is flexible, and you can cancel at any time.
What if I am not convinced after my first walk?
If you show up, give it a genuine shot, and it is not for you, we will offer a full refund.
Why walking?
Because the best conversations rarely happen in crowded rooms. Walking creates a more natural setting for honest conversation, clarity, and connection.
