ctrlshyft is a curated founder community designed for real, substance-first connections—no overpriced memberships, no fluff. We host digital groups and IRL events that help founders exchange insights, resources, and opportunities.
ctrlshyft is for active startup founders and growth leaders—whether you're bootstrapped or backed. What matters is that you're actively building and open to learning and sharing.
Membership is invite-only, meaning you must be nominated by someone in the network or invited directly by the ctrlshyft team.
ctrlshyft is not-for-profit.
Most networks charge high fees for surface-level access. ctrlshyft focuses on hyper-relevance: every group, event, and match is built around shared stage, challenges, or markets—so the conversations go deeper, faster.
Yes. We don’t believe in paywalls for access to other founders. ctrlshyft is free to join, with optional paid add-ons for retreats, events, or private dinners. We don't make profit on our operation and any participation fees will only apply for select optional offers that are provided on a not-for-profit basis.
Once you're in, we match you to curated micro-groups or forums based on your industry, traction level, or topic interests. It’s designed to avoid generic chatter and focus on relevant exchange.
Absolutely. ctrlshyft grows through referrals. If you know a founder who builds with intent and shares openly, send them our way. We review every profile to keep the quality high.
