The Hatch
Small ideation sessions where ideas are born, pressure-tested, and shaped together.
Entrepreneurship Roundtable
A private community for women founders and aspiring founders to learn, share, and build together.
In good company
Too many women are building alone, or not building at all. Most founder communities aren’t built for women, or for the kind of conversations that actually help.
So we built one that is. A private room where handpicked guests share what's actually working, you learn from people a few steps ahead, and you find the support to keep going. No selling, no soliciting, no shallow networking.
A private room built for women founders, and everything that comes with a seat at the table.
Every member and guest is vetted. We care more about who is in the room than how many.
Every event is capped on purpose. Members hear about them first and get priority access.
A safe space to give and get honest feedback, whatever stage you are at.
Founders, investors, and experts share what actually worked, not the highlight reel.
Relationships built on honest conversation that carry on long after the room clears.
An invite-only group where members swap intros, advice, and opportunities between events.
Perks from our partners, like credits and discounts at the Hive.
From eight-person ideation sessions to live, podcast-style conversations, every room is designed to be worth your time.
Small ideation sessions where ideas are born, pressure-tested, and shaped together.
A live, podcast-style conversation with a handpicked guest.
Practical workshops on AI, legal, business, and the real skills founders need to grow.
Small-group, implementation-focused workshops for founders ready to go deeper.
Relaxed mixers where the community connects over drinks and good company.
One-off special events like hackathons and build days, and more to come.
Every speaker is handpicked. Every participant is vetted. Every room is worth your time.
We host founders, investors, and experts to share with our community.
Five values shape every room we build, and every conversation inside it.
Spaces where everyone can participate and feel supported, whatever your stage or background.
Real conversations and no sales pitches. This is a space for shared learning, not prospecting.
Different perspectives make us stronger. We challenge ideas with respect and welcome the full spectrum of founder experience.
Meaningful relationships built through honest dialogue, not surface networking.
What’s shared in the room stays in the room. Trust is essential to the way we gather.
Real words from founders in the room.
“Tina, thanks for being so generous in organizing and sharing your experience.
Also great to learn from all the others in the session. Definitely worth another session to follow up and with an expanded group!!”
“Thank you so much Tina for organizing tonight's talk. I came away with many good ideas and also a deeper understanding of what funders look for in founders and ventures.”

“That was an incredibly valuable session on idea validation and I appreciated the learnings shared.
I can already think of ways I can apply these lessons to my work as a lawyer as I seek to build and grow my own client base.”
“Thank you again Tina and Emily for hosting tonight and Joey, for sharing your insights! I got some clarity on what's next for my idea. Really appreciated everyone's thoughts on it.”

Women founders, aspiring founders, and women interested in learning how to build businesses. Some members are actively building, others are still exploring ideas. Our purpose is to empower more women to become entrepreneurs, and to make the ones already building even stronger.
We are highly vetted and deliberately small. We care about quality over quantity, so we are not chasing thousands of members. What matters to us is that the same people keep coming back, starting out unsure what to build and eventually having built something.
No. Plenty of members joined before they had an idea at all.
No. Our events are open and first-timers are always welcome. Everyone who attends is vetted first, and membership is invite only.
Yes, as long as they RSVP through our events page so we can vet them first. Ask them to add your name as the referrer.
Our core sessions are for women. Men are welcome at our mixers, one-off events, and Founder Labs+.
Start by filling out our join form. From there, invitations go out to members we have met in person and gotten to know across a few events.
There is no membership fee. Most events are free too. Founder Labs+ is our one paid format, and some special events may be ticketed.
Our full name is Entrepreneurship Roundtable. That was a mouthful, so we shortened it to entR, which is also the university course code for entrepreneurship in the US.
You say the letters: e, n, t, r.
Two ways to get involved, whether you want to share your expertise or help bring founders together.
Run a workshop, bring expert content, join us as a guest, or nominate someone you'd love to see. We also team up with aligned communities for cross-community events.
Collaborate with usSupport the community in the way that suits you: cover a venue, food and drinks, contribute merch, or offer tech credits for our founders. In return, your brand gets in front of a room of ambitious founders.
