4 Slack Groups That Help Founders With Funding
The Slack Communities That Actually Move the Needle on Your Fundraising Goals.
If you're in the early stages of building your startup, chances are your to-do list is a chaotic scroll of pitch decks, product tweaks, and existential spirals. And while you're Googling “how to raise $500K without selling your soul,” might we point you to something a little less soul-crushing? Enter: Slack groups made for founders who are fundraising—and thriving.
These aren’t your average dead-end group chats. We’re talking high-value, high-vibe communities where early-stage entrepreneurs swap investor intros, dissect term sheets, share pitch tips, and even pass the mic when funding opportunities arise. They’re like your favorite co-working space—but virtual, hyper-focused, and actually helpful.
And no, you don’t have to be “well-connected” or “in the room” to get in. These curated Slack groups are designed to get scrappy, and smart founders like you closer to your funding goals—without the gatekeeping.
So if you're building something game-changing, these founder-friendly communities might just be your new secret weapon.
Graham & Walker
For: Women founders who are raising funds, breaking barriers, and doing it all in style.
If you're a founder with a big idea (and a bigger vision), this group is for you. Backed by the VC firm of the same name, Graham & Walker is more than a community—it's a power network. You’ll find support for fundraising, warm intros, and a refreshingly real space to talk through what it actually takes to raise capital as a woman in a male-dominated field. Come for the founder energy, stay for the high-caliber resources and connections.
Startup Sauce
For: Tech founders and startup generalists who want zero-fluff advice (and funding leads that don’t suck).
If you've ever screamed “Why didn’t anyone tell me this?!” mid-startup chaos, Startup Sauce is your antidote. This is a fast-moving Slack for founders who want honest advice, plug-and-play templates, investor insights, and tactical resources from other builders in the trenches. Think of it as your startup group chat, but with way less noise and way more actual help.
Femstreet
For: Women in tech, VC, and entrepreneurship who want to stay in-the-know and in community.
Founded by powerhouse investor Sarah Nöckel, Femstreet is a go-to Slack group for tech-savvy women building (and backing) the next big thing. Whether you're pre-seed or post-Series A, you’ll find sharp convos on funding, founder stories, trends in tech, and VC chatter—all through a female-first lens. If your group chat doesn’t include other women talking market share and dilution clauses… it’s time to upgrade.
PitchBase
For: Founders who are actively fundraising—or prepping to pitch like a pro.
Pitchbase is exactly what it sounds like: a no-fluff zone for founders who are raising capital and need a space to practice pitches, refine decks, and get feedback from people who’ve done it. Think of it as pitch rehearsal, but without the awkward suits or bad lighting. If you’re looking to tighten your story, sharpen your ask, or connect with angels and VCs who actually care—Pitchbase has entered the chat.
