Find your first customers
The hardest part of early-stage selling is getting in the room. Compass is our invite-only community of 100+ executives at companies you're trying to reach—leaders who want to advise, champion, and buy what you're building.
Recruit a team fit for your mission
The first five people you hire will define the next hundred. You need co-founders in spirit: fellow builders who are relentless, resourceful, and as committed as you are. We're in the search with you at every stage, from the job spec to the final offer.
Learn from a community who gets it
You don't have to figure it out alone. We connect you with founders we've backed and operators who've scaled companies. Through dinners, summits, and direct intros, you'll find fellow builders who understand both where you are and where you're going.
Tell a story that wins
Narrative is power. You need language that rallies your team, draws in talent, and compels customers. We're in the deck with you, refining positioning, sharpening the pitch, and pressure-testing the story until it's clear why you're the only one who can tell it.
Turning ideas into enduring companies
Cerebras and Turing began in our Palo Alto office. Our Build programs give that same start to university students and alumni.
