Surround Yourself with Founders Who Refuse to Stay Small.
How Do You Build the Business You've Been Dreaming Of?
FounderLink is the curated community where business owners connect, learn, and grow together. (Without the $$$ price tag.)
Who Can Entrepreneurs Turn to for Support?
Entrepreneurs are a rare breed
Building a business is isolating as hell.
You're carrying the weight of payroll, customer expectations, and your own future—but who can you actually talk to about it?
Your friends and family with regular jobs don't understand the stress of making $50K decisions (or more!) every other Tuesday.
Other business owners in your current network are likely rare, and they may be competitors, prospects, or too busy with their own challenges.
So you're stuck learning expensive lessons the hard way and burning out.

Founders Who’ve Found Their People
“Since joining FounderLink, I’ve become far more focused and intentional with how I use my time. The program has sharpened my ability to prioritize what really matters, creating the space to make better decisions and move faster with confidence.”
Chris Bryce
Founder of Dotfusion.com
“Since joining FounderLink, I’m surrounded by people who get me and get my world. (Which is rare as a business owner!) Every conversation leaves me inspired, motivated, and armed with ideas I can actually put into action.”
Shawna Tregunna
Founder of Acclivity Agency

Brooke Finlay

Led by Someone Who's Been There
Graeme Barlow is a multi-exited founder who's scaled companies to 8+ figures. He knows what it takes to go from idea to exit.
But more importantly, he remembers what it felt like to be alone, overwhelmed, and making it up as he went along. That's why he built FounderLink: to give founders the support system he wished he had.
His personal mission? Help 1,000 founders exceed their $1M goal and create $1B in economic impact. Your success is his objective.

Are serious about growth
Value community over competition
Believe in action over endless planning
Want to support others while building their own success
Frequently Asked Questions
We're looking for founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business owners who are actively building companies and serious about growth. Whether you're pre-revenue or doing $10M+ annually, if you're carrying the real responsibility of building something that matters, you belong here.
We welcome founders from all industries.
What we look for: People who value community over competition, believe in action over endless theory, and want to both learn from and support other founders on the journey.
Nope. FounderLink membership is completely free.
Our Founders Dinners have a ticket cost (typically around $150 USD) to cover the venue, food, and experience, but the core community—Slack access, coaching calls with Graeme, expert sessions, resources, and connections—costs nothing.
Why free? Because we believe every founder deserves access to a support system, regardless of where they are in their revenue journey.
As much or as little as you want. FounderLink is designed to fit into your already-crazy schedule, not add to the overwhelm.
Minimum viable participation: Pop into Slack when you have questions or want to share wins. That's it.
If you want more: Join the monthly coaching calls (1 hour), attend expert sessions (1 hour), participate in BD Power Hours for accountability, and apply for Founders Dinners in your area. More resources, events and support are being added steadily – it's up to you if you use them.
Bottom line: Take what serves you, skip what doesn't. The community is always there when you need it.
Perfect! Some of our most active and valuable members are in the early stages. In fact, we intentionally maintain a mix where 25% of our community is founders who are new to the journey.
Why early-stage founders thrive here:
- Learn from people who've been exactly where you are
- Get your questions answered before they become expensive mistakes
- Build relationships with potential mentors, partners, and customers
- Access resources and templates that typically cost thousands
- Find accountability partners at your stage
Real talk: The earlier you join a strong founder community, the faster you'll navigate the inevitable challenges ahead.
vs. Hampton and Founders Forum: We welcome founders at all revenue stages, not just those already making millions. Plus, we're free instead of $8K+/year.
vs. YPO/EO: No revenue requirements or lengthy application processes. Jump in and start connecting immediately.
vs. Facebook Groups: Curated membership, direct access to expert coaching, and real accountability—not just random posts and self-promotion.
vs. Industry-Specific Groups: Cross-industry insights and connections. Some of the best opportunities come from unexpected places.
vs. Local Meetups: Global community with both online and offline components, plus structured support systems.
Our difference: We combine the accessibility of free communities with the quality and value typically found in expensive masterminds, anchored by Graeme's proven expertise and genuine commitment to your success.
We review applications quickly (usually within 48 hours) and look for founders who align with our community values and will both contribute to and benefit from the group.
If accepted: You'll get immediate access to our Slack community, invitations to upcoming events, and a welcome guide to help you make the most of your membership.
If we're not a fit: We'll let you know honestly and, when possible, point you toward resources or communities that might be better aligned with where you are.
Our goal: Keep the community tight-knit and valuable for everyone involved.
Yes, but thoughtfully. We have specific channels for content promotion and feedback where sharing your work is encouraged and supported by the community.
What works: Asking for feedback on copy, sharing lessons learned, celebrating wins, and genuinely supporting others' content.
What doesn't: Drive-by pitching, spam, or treating the community like a lead generation tool.
The vibe: Community over competition. Help others win, and they'll help you win too.
Not at all. While our Founders Dinners are incredible experiences, the core value of FounderLink lives in the daily community interactions and virtual events.
Virtual-first: All coaching calls, expert sessions, and workshops are online and recorded for later viewing.
In-person bonus: Founders Dinners happen in major cities across North America. If you're near one and want to attend, great. If not, you're not missing out on the core community value.
Global community: Some of our most engaged members have never attended an in-person event, and that's perfectly fine.
