WeTransact x The Guild
Founders unite to solve the funding gap for underserved founders with HER: humanity, empathy and responsibility.
THE HER ECOSYSTEM
Maximizing Impact Together .Live Across World-Changing Ecosystems. Fostering a more sustainable option for undeserved communities world-wide to connect & grow together to maximize impact for ALL with Humanity + Empathy + Responsibility. The HER Ecosystem is a coalition between many world changing ecosystems with a shared set of cooperative human values.
Currently there’s no shortage of startup ecosystem programs, lists and organizations offering founders deals and promises of potentially getting funding. Who is vetting these claims? Who’s updating these lists? I find regularly many of the online resources are more often mislabeled and/or not updated. This leaves a messy google result or excel spreadsheet for founders to sort through.
Time is money especially for early stage founders’ runways. Where do they go to decide what’s next for their startup? They ask fellow founders who have recently gone through it themselves or that they know and trust their advice.
Our startup generation (Oregon Trail, Millenials, Gen Z) are saying no to the winner takes all mentality and “bro culture” of the startup world. We are seeing the world coming together to fix the most challenging problems for generations to come. It’s not just about a quick flip and fighting each other at pitch events. It’s about cooperation with fellow allies across the ecosystem who have shared values and goals. We are all stronger together and we all have unique super peers that makes us all valuable to society as a whole. The world needs ALL of us to succeed together. There’s room for everyone at the table we just need to make the table bigger.
We set out to do the impossible and it’s working! We’re fostering a new “founders first” ecosystem rooted with mission aligned knowledge and resources. Vetted by the founders themselves and shared .Live in real time on the app. This way the most relevant knowledge, collaboration, diligence, and shared opportunities for ALL can be accessed easily by the founder .Live. Saving everyone time and money to grow their businesses smarter together.
I sat down with to talk with Anne Cocquyt the founder of the GUILD and GUILD Academy (letsguild.com/academy), a best-in-class program for first-time entrepreneurs to launch their business in 8 weeks and decide on funding options about all of her aligned resources. Anne is originally from Stuttgart, Germany and has launched businesses in a wide variety of industries. She is known to be a super connector in the US startup ecosystem. After building partnerships with digital health companies, funds and accelerators for Genentech’s innovation team, she founded her own consumer product and tech startup, sold one, acquired a startup and serves as a startup advisor, advisor to a fund, and angel investor.
We’re honored to have The Guild as an Ally in our HER Ecosystem and are looking forward to all the shared success stories to come for ALL of us! I’m grateful for her taking the time to welcome female founders to the Guild. The community has so much to offer and registration is FREE. Take my word for it or hear it directly from Anne and judge for yourself;-)
