Founding Journey Membership

Each week I interview founders who've raised venture capital and write case studies about them. Get lifetime access to those and a lot more.

TESTIMONIALS

What Founders Are Saying

As a first time founder, there’s so much content out there about starting a company that I found myself overwhelmed with knowing what to believe and who to follow. Houck's Newsletter has been a lifesaver!

Houck's Newsletter is like having a personal coach for your startup. The tips and strategies are so on-point, I always come away feeling motivated and inspired to take action.

Houck is the real deal, everything he shares with founders is practical and tactical. There's no fluff, just incredibly helpful startup advice you can quickly take action on.

FAQs

Common questions about FJ

Can I expense Founding Journey?

Yes, many founders expense our membership. The goal of FJ is directly related to your startup — it's to help you grow as a founder and build a better startup without making common mistakes.

Do I need to be fundraising right now?

No, certainly not. Founding Journey has interviewed many founders — you likely won’t read them all at once. But your reading list will certainly fill up and you’ll know how to approach fundraising when the time comes.

What types of founders has Founding Journey interviewed?

So far we’ve interviewed founders from around the world — from Silicon Valley insiders to first-time founders who figured things out through grit.

I’ve fundraised before, will FJ be worth it for me?

Of course — presumably if you’ve raised before you’ll need to again in the future. Founding Journey has interviewed founders from pre-seed to Series D, and in many different market conditions. Chances are you’ll pick up many helpful tips :)
