“Being in a real community of entrepreneurs is crucial for solo founders to get feedback and build momentum. There are plenty of quick money groups out there, but ESF is one of the few communities that's serious, with founders focused on building solid, long-term businesses. The big challenge for solo founders with early-stage startups is keeping a steady flow of feedback, which helps you keep moving forward and build a sustainable business every day. Being active and showing up daily are what really matter when you're building a business, and the ESF community is a key part of that journey. Let's go!!!”

“I stumbled upon Early Stage Founders on Twitter and was immediately drawn in. The community is an absolute gem for SaaS owners and indie hackers. Networking is a crucial part of our journey, and ESF delivers in spades. From day one, I was able to connect with a diverse group of like-minded, driven individuals who share the same passion for building and growing. The support, insights, and collaboration opportunities here are unparalleled. Whether you're looking to exchange ideas, seek advice, or simply find motivation, ESF is the place to be.”

“Avery truly cares about developing early stage entrepreneurs. I look forward to our one-on-one calls each week, and he hosts development sessions for everyone as well. I've met so many great founders so far and I'm super excited to bring my product to market with Avery's help.”

“Avery is genuinely passionate about supporting early-stage entrepreneurs. It really comes through in our calls and all the initiatives he leads. I really appreciate all the work he's doing. The community is really buzzing and everyone is keen to chat, exchange ideas and help! I'm currently working on my own project and I cant wait to launch with the help of this community!”

“Man, being part of the Early-Stage Founders Discord has been a game-changer for me. The daily calls are the best part — it’s not just another random Zoom call. It’s real, raw convos with other founders sharing what’s working, what’s not, and hyping each other up. Seriously, it’s like having a squad of people who actually get what you’re going through. And shoutout to Avery — the dude is always putting in the work to keep this place valuable. You can tell he genuinely cares. From bringing in cool guest speakers to running these calls every day, it’s wild how much he’s invested in this community. If you’re a founder looking for a place to connect, learn, and not feel alone in the grind, this is where you wanna be. I’ve leveled up a ton since joining and made some dope connections. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot stress enough just how good Avery is. His approach to business and growth is just so SMART. Whatever you're currently working on, if you put in the work and implement feedback from the other founders in this group, I can guarantee you'll take your business to the next level. After every call with Avery, I always have a new perspective and a defined path of what to work on. I implement whatever we talked about, check back in, then get the next task. The results speak for themselves. I have an e-commerce style saas that month after month continues to generate more revenue. I have to thank this community and Avery's guidance for a lot of that success.”
