12 Scrappy Founders

Outdoor endurance community for founders in the Bay Area.
No boring dinners.
Think hard hikes, dirt-biking, MTB, go-karting, camping and poker nights.

mosh pits, mushrooms and motorcycles

the average founder at our go karting nights is not average lol

guy who wrote a dozen books on relationships and advised disney rides motorcycles fast.
one who built a gtm prediction engine spends weekends in mosh pits.
another flew in doing mushroom supplements - wasn't in AI at all (thank god!)

funny how none of it comes up until everyone stops talking about their startup

as a host the worst thing you can hear after an event is "yeah it was fine"

never heard that about dirt biking lol

people either love it or tap out real fast. both way easier than the ones stuck in the middle

cool seeing more and more Bay founders getting into it with us

#redbull fuels the best of Silicon Valley (;

[Simar Boparai @Simar_Boparai_]

When your founders love you so much they drop off a lifetime supply of Red Bull and a branded cooler for the office

Shoutout to @12founders and @redbull for keeping the @slashapp team caffeinated forever!! This job is unreal!!

hadn't touched a soccer ball in 15 years. turns out I'm way worse than I thought haha

ran our first founder game in SF this Monday. got a waitlist for 2 more fields

I dirt bike, hike, play pickle every week - still got absolutely smoked out there. worst player on the field by a mile

doing this every 2 weeks now. dm if u play ⚽

[12 Scrappy Founders @12founders]

we DON'T DO fancy founder dinners.
we DO trails. dirt bikes. tents. hard hikes.

But December came, and we pulled everyone together who’s been with us this year.

most folks here already hiked together, eaten dirt on off-road bikes and battled it out in pickleball.

that’s the difference. we’re not “networking” - we already know each other really well.

^ to the OGs - you built this ❤️
^ to the regulars - thanks for being with us!
^to the new folks - we’ll get you muddy soon 😄

Went to a @12founders dinner last night and it was one of the best events that I've been to in a while.

Felt the warmth the second I walked into the door, felt genuine connection with people there. Had some great food, met some great people, and the vibes were off the chart (of course the house was absolutely stunning)

Thank you @denis_belyavsky for creating such an amazing community and inviting me to the gathering. When people talk about creating authentic connections without any motive, you're doing exactly that :)

[12 Scrappy Founders @12founders]

@pratik_satija It was so great having you with us! You’re always welcome, you know (;

@xucian_ @safizaq @barrysuny @belalenok @junaidfaizal__ @SF best decompression ever!

[12 Scrappy Founders @12founders]

first time on dirt bikes for most
by lunch they were asking for harder trails💀

spent Saturday dirt biking w/ founders:
fell into bushes, pulled bikes out together, cooked hotdogs after.

zero interest in boring networking
instead, we went gokarting w/ 18 founders in SF.
felt less like a tech event and more like friends racing and having good time.

@wylansford 950 now!

There’s no denying the power of community. With the right people, there’s nothing you can’t do. That’s why at 12 Scrappy Founders, we’re dedicated to connecting kind and like-minded founders across the Bay Area.
