Introducing the Founder Catalyst Community: Join Us on Slack!

A place for prospective and repeat founders to discuss new ideas, share learnings and start the companies of tomorrow.

At Decibel, we have always believed in the power of serendipity. By bringing the right people together, we can create an environment where magic happens. 

A few months ago we started a series of small dinners with both prospective and repeat founders, thinking through new ideas and markets, discussing topics such as the programmable cyber defense or Service-as-Software via AI agents as well as more strategic items like pricing in the AI world.

We named these gatherings Founder Catalyst because our vision for starting a great company involves a few crucial elements. These catalysts can take many forms:

• Meeting the Right Co-Founder

• Discovering the Right Idea

• Receiving Key Insights from Customers

• Securing Capital

Often, the magic lies in the combination of all these elements. Our dinners have sparked lively conversations and even birthed a few company ideas. Today, we're collaborating with several Founder Catalyst members to incubate a variety of companies that originated from these get togethers.

Over the past few months, many of you have asked for a virtual space to continue building relationships and exchanging ideas. In response, we're excited to announce the launch of the Founder Catalyst Community on Slack!

If you are a product, sales, or engineering leader with aspirations of starting a company one day in the field of technical software, this community is for you.

Sign up here (or ping me) to become part of this community which includes product and engineering leaders from Zoom, Duo Security, Rubrik, Meta, Harness, Atlassian and Google among many others and attend our upcoming founder events!
