Entrepreneurship Communities that require an application
About the Entrepreneurship Topic
Entrepreneurial communities are online communities where entrepreneurs can connect with one another, share ideas, and offer advice. They can be a leverage point for businesses that are just beginning to get off the ground, and can help provide advice, mentorship, and support to those that are looking to grow. If you're looking for an entrepreneurship organization or group to join, this list is for you. This list of communities is for current entrepreneurs, solo entrepreneurs, serial entrepreneurs, and those that are entrepreneurially curious. Entrepreneurial communities are quite popular across many platforms these days, and picking a community to join will likely be dependant on the types of community members. Some are geared towards beginner/advanced levels of entrepreneurship, and some are focused on specific subsets of entrepreneurship (like SaaS, or Growth).

Through community events, fireside chats with industry leaders, an in-house team of experts (design, viral growth, GTM strategy, community), a growing list of exclusive perks, and serendipitous hallway conversations, Launch House pours the rocket fuel on any startup.
Residents from previous cohorts have gone on to raise money from top venture firms (e.g. Y Combinator, Sequoia), land partnerships with top social media influencers (e.g. Harry Jowsey), and hit tens of millions of users on launch.
