About The Founders Conclave

Every week at the Founders Conclave, we scout startups from early-stage deal lists, founder communities, and under-the-radar launches, narrowing down to a few teams worth a closer look. We evaluate founders and their backgrounds, problem clarity, solution uniqueness, market size and timing, business model, traction, financial viability, competitive edge, and risks. When we find startups that signal promise, we begin to write. Each article aims to explain the problem and solution that the startup is tackling in plain language, puts the team in context, surfaces early signals, and highlights both opportunities and risks. Our goal is simple: give builders, operators, and investors insights into which early companies are worth watching.
