What our members say
Before Next Chapter I wasn’t connected to a critical mass of ambitious and like-minded founder. In 2 years that drastically changed. I was introduced to several people who I now consider incredibly close friends.
Alex Brogan

Next Chapter is the culmination of the most wholesome, ambitious and curious people I've met. Every interaction with community members has been a joy and inspiring in expanding the bounds of my ambition as a founder.

Joining Next Chapter is the single most consequential decision I have made. I went from knowing 0 investors to having billionaires on speed dial.

Alexander Valante
Founder, Redactive Raised $11.5m
Next Chapter has been a real game-changer for me. What I didn’t expect was to form deep friendships and learn so much from other founders. I’m super grateful for the active, no-ego community where everyone helps each other out, regardless of the stage of their startup.
