CoFoundersLab for Entrepreneurs

What you get: a free course, and the directory

The learning centre gives you one free course to judge the content. The directory gives you a search of members, with messaging labelled 'Limited' on the free plan. Premium adds unlimited search, direct messages and video chat, along with weekly live events, Q&A sessions and pitch practice. ^{[1] [2]}

What it costs you

Each course costs $99. All-access is cheaper than a single course only for under about 6.6 months of use, and the site's two prices do not agree. Premium costs $29 a month after the trial, with the card charged automatically and no general refund policy. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Your first month

Start with the free course. It is the one part of the learning centre you can judge without paying. If it does not match what you need, you have lost nothing. ^[1]

Check the price on the checkout screen. Compare the figure you see there with $15 and $29 on the site before you enter a card, and keep the receipt. ^{[1] [2]}

Local events are a cheaper route for some

Startup Weekend, Startup Grind and hackathons are often free or low-cost, and they put you in a room with other founders. For an entrepreneur who wants people rather than content, that is often the better first step before any subscription. ^[4]

Should you pay for it?

Only for the one course you need, and only after the free course. Premium is a $29 monthly subscription for messaging, and the learning centre is a separate purchase. The Terms set no general refund policy, so decide before the card is charged. ^{[3] [1]}
