At Founder Institute San Francisco, we’re super excited to be partnering with Startup Oasis!!

About Startup Oasis

“Let's be real”.  Their vision is to bridge the gap between the dreaming and the doing.  They’ve created a grassroots, different type of forum for early-stage founders and are focused on community building and ongoing relationship based networking.  

“As many early stage startup Founders…

  • You’re hard-pressed to find the actual people or resources you need without emptying your bank accounts or destroying any startup capital you may have needed.”  
  • Virtual or “spray & pray” networking events haven’t been super effective or fruitful.  
  • “Keep us in the loop, we'll be here when/if you grow" isn’t helpful for what you need now.    

Given the right conditions, the magic just happens.  Stop wandering the desert and join the Oasis.
