Company mission
To create the support system we wish we had - one that blends experience, community, and real-world guidance.
Our take
Great founders don't just build alone, and that's the problem 1Leader is solving. After raising a Series A round, founders are suddenly faced with new, complex challenges but most of them are doing it without the kind of support and network they really need. 1Leader is a private, invite-only community built by founders, to help founders connect, learn, and scale together.
It does so by connecting A+ founders with everything they need to grow. And with AI-driven insights working behind the scenes, every connection and piece of advice is smarter and more personalised. It's built for real results, and claims 30% faster leader scaling, 40% reduction in founder burnout, and 25% improvement in team retention. With this sort of momentum, the company is in very good standing for a future of high growth.
