Xx Employee Directory

Join over 150+ founders we've invested in! We modeled our program after Y Combinator 's early days. The cohort will be small -- no more than 12 companies -- in order to cultivate a tight knit founder community. You'll hone your product, refine your pitch and iterate at lightning speed... with ongoing support from us and your XX peers. You'll probab... ly make a lifelong friend or two. Our program is structured around weekly group show & tells, one-on-one office hours with mentors and fireside chat with founders who've grown successful companies. Each startup will be paired with a personal mentor who will hold them accountable each week, help solve bottlenecks rapidly, and ruthlessly focus on 'the most important thing'. We host weekly fireside chat dinners with accomplished founders (sometimes breakfast with Airbnb's CTO) about the highs & lows. Meet with your small cohort of founders who'll inspire and push you to be the best version of yourself. You'll find your crew for life.

Most importantly, we found our people - genuine, salt of the earth, impact-driven founders who've also built tremendously successful companies. They shared the greats but also the bad and the ugly.
