Stop building your AI startup alone.
Join a community of founders helping each other build AI automations, grow their audience, ship faster, and convert users into paying customers.
The first 25 founding members lock in $19.99/month or $149/year for life.
The hard problems never get talked about.
Most AI meetups are great for networking. But nobody is working through the actual problems you hit in the weeds, like:
- Getting your first real users and some early traction
- Finding product-market fit before the runway runs out
- Squashing the specific bug that has blocked you for days
- Pricing your product so people actually pay for it
- Knowing what to build next, and what to ignore
- Shipping faster with AI coding tools without piling up tech debt
- Getting AI coding agents to stop breaking what already works
- Staying motivated as a solo or very small team
This is a small, high-signal group where you can ask those questions and get answers from founders who have already solved them.
What you get inside.
Your mastermind group of 4
When you join, we match you with three other founders at a similar stage. You meet for 60 minutes every week to set commitments, hold each other accountable, and work through what each of you is building.
Live office hours
Drop your question in during the week and upvote others. The top few get worked through live, with the people who have actually solved them.
Async Q&A
Post a question any time. The job here is connection: getting you an answer from the member who has been exactly where you are.
Five focused spaces
Introductions, General, Building, Marketing & GTM, and Office Hours. No firehose, no fluff, just the conversations that matter.
Not a 500-person Slack. A group of four.
When you join, we match you into a small mastermind group with three other founders at a similar stage. You meet every week for accountability and peer support around whatever each of you is building. It is the kind of close, consistent help a big community feed can never give you.
Matched by stage: idea and pre-revenue, early traction, or scaling. Small enough that everyone gets real time to share.
A standing weekly call for commitments, accountability, and working through whatever is blocking you right now.
A different member runs each meeting. Matt sits in on your group's first session to model the format and set the norms.
Groups run as a cohort, then you re-up with the same people or get re-matched as your stage changes.
How a weekly session runs
Sixty focused minutes, run by a different member each week.
- 1
Wins round
Each person shares one win since last week, in a sentence.
- 2
Accountability check-in
Did you do what you committed to last week? You report back. No advice, no fixing, just saying it out loud.
- 3
What you're working on
Each person walks through what they're building and any blockers. The group asks questions.
- 4
Commitments round
Everyone names the one thing that matters most for the week ahead, specific enough to know when it's done.
What is said in the group stays in the group.
Matt Schuberg
Founder, AI Founders Group
Every AI meetup I went to was the same: broad, general discussions about where the industry is going. Interesting, but never the specific problem I was actually stuck on that week.
Founders building AI products do not need another general panel. They need a place to ask the exact question they are stuck on and get an answer from someone who has already solved it.
I have worked on a few AI-native apps myself, so I know these problems firsthand. I wanted to create a community of founders helping each other, where the person who solved your exact problem last month is one post away. If that sounds like what you need, apply.

Questions, answered.
Who is this for?+
Founders and early team members building an AI-native app (not just bolting AI onto an existing product), at the 0 to 20 person stage, actively wrestling with real product, GTM, and pricing problems.
Who is it not for?+
It is not for AI consultants, researchers, general networkers, or anyone looking to pitch or post job listings. Keeping the group specific is the whole point.
What actually happens in here?+
Two things. You are matched into a weekly mastermind group of four founders for accountability and peer support. Alongside that, the wider community runs async Q&A and live office hours where the top upvoted questions get worked through with people who have shipped the answer.
How do the mastermind groups work?+
We match you with three other founders at a similar stage, and your group meets for 60 minutes every week. Each session covers a wins round, an accountability check-in on last week's commitments, time to work through what each of you is building, and a single commitment for the week ahead. A different member facilitates each week, and groups run in 3 to 6 month cohorts before you re-up or get re-matched.
Why is it paid?+
Payment is the strongest filter for commitment. Paying members show up and contribute, lurkers do not. The founding cohort locks in $19.99/month or $149/year for life as a thank-you for being early.
What if it is not for me?+
Join, look around, and if it is not a fit within your first 14 days we will refund you in full. No back and forth. After that you can cancel anytime and keep access through the end of your billing period.
How does applying work?+
Apply with a short form. We read every one personally. If it is a fit, you get a private checkout link at the founding rate. Apply, get approved, then join.
Where does the community live?+
On Circle. This page is just the front door. Once you are accepted you get your checkout link and access to all the spaces.
