Democratizing Access
for Growth

Closing the access gap for startup founders from underrepresented groups with a focus on growth marketing and technology.

Currently in Beta

Our mission is to rebalance the startup ecosystem by enabling, empowering and connecting underrepresented founders.

We bring together leading growth experts, experience strategists, developers, venture investors and supporters to make the most useful connections when they are needed most. By leveraging our members and their extensive networks, we support founders with access to expertise, vendor recommendations, industry trends and advice - leading to revenue, funding, and professional growth opportunities.

InTandem is the only private membership network focused on accelerating startups with underrepresented founders while connecting, learning and growing together.

InTandem curated a talented list of mentors who provide real world insights and actionable next steps to help you build upon the growth framework at your company.”

Founder Liaison Team

Our founder liaison team facilitates meaningful access for founders based on their individual needs.

Starting with a short onboarding and a focused consultation, the founder liaison team pulls together a curated list of one-on-one introductions using stated and collaboratively identified needs.

Founders have unlimited access to the founder liaison team and members as business needs change and new opportunities present themselves.

Community Activities

The community comes together to meet, discuss and learn through monthly virtual happy hours, speaker talks and quarterly in-person events.
