⚡️ Founder Diaries: Unfiltered Highs & Lows

We celebrate the unfiltered BTS stories of today’s founders - from their highest highs to the lowest lows and how they powered through it all… or didn’t.

Why Founder Diaries?

In an era where founders’ lives are glamorized and their stories are romanticized narratives of seemingly endless success, the behind-the-scenes reality of the highs and lows of being a founder often don’t come to light.

Alongside the startup with a high valuation is the string of risky decisions, maxed-out credit cards, and grueling late-night chats.

Alongside each polished story, there are real challenges, unsung heroes, and unique highs & lows that make every second of the founder's journey worth it. Or maybe not? We will let you decide.

These are the true, unfiltered short stories behind the founders of today. Enjoy :)

If you know someone with a unique founder story who would like to share their BTS journey of founder life - the highest highs and the lowest lows - please feel free to refer them at diariesfounder@gmail.com.
