Common questions

What does Facet cost?

Applications are currently open for founding membership at $75 per month. Founding membership includes your twice monthly facilitated peer circle, access to expert-led workshops, personal connections, and a members-only Slack community.

Who's in Facet?

We're a community of early-stage and first-time founders from all verticals: SaaS, marketplace, services, and consumer. We believe diversity is an asset and curate peer circles to include non-competing founders with businesses from a variety of verticals.

How will Facet help me as an entrepreneur?

One of the hardest parts about building a business is that few people can relate to your journey. By joining a group of like-minded peers, you can feed off of each other and receive the deeper type of support and feedback that we really need in order to get where you'regoing.

What are the expectations of Facet?

We only ask that you participate fully, share our values, and put into Facet what you want to get out of it. We encourage you to attend all peer circle sessions, but know that things happen. We just ask that you notify your facilitator at least 24 hours in advance.

How do we get matched?

We match you based on a number of factors, including (but not limited to): growth stage, industry, timezone, background, goals, and personality type. We discover these details through our initial application process and then we use our system to find an optimal peer group for you.

Will I know who is in my peer group before I join?

You won't know until after you get accepted and join the community. Groups are dynamic and you do have the option of switching groups. We're constantly listening to your feedback, so we can improve and create the absolute best experience for everyone.
