YCombinator was made by humans no smarter than you.

Learning Loop is a self-organizing and meticulously moderated bubble of smart, ambitious and high-agency startup founders located all around the world. Running since 2022, we believe we can make this as important and useful as YCombinator for every startup founder in the world over the next 10 years.

Who are we bringing together?

Founders of technology startups from 0 to series A.

Why do people join LearningLoop?

To win. As a member you can get on a call with other founders to exchange credible, high quality feedback, get warm intros to investors, get same-hour replies to text-based questions about virtually anything, get and offer emotional support in uncertain times, and more.

How does LearningLoop operate?

LearningLoop is a 2-person company with and about 60 paying community members. We charge $1500/year for membership, with discounts available for members who can't yet afford the fee fully. The founders of LearningLoop are also building Integral, a Slack/Discord replacement.

How is this different from YC?

We don't have a fund and don't invest or run a 3-month program at the moment. We're founders, we just share our insights and experiences in the group and show up for each other, to maximize our collective luck and resources.

How is this different from other founder communities?

We work full-time to maintain LearningLoop, build technology and experiences and content to add value to members, make sure the community and the feed are always high quality and never noisy, and prevent spam, non-founders and grifters from joining.

What is the end game for LearningLoop?

Our end game is to build a scalable model for creating global human relationships and conversations, and channel the collective insights and resources into helping 1 billion humans fulfil their fullest potential.
