This past Saturday, I had breakfast with 4 amazing founders and snagged two leads for my own #MicroSaaS!🤩
In a small, relaxed setting like a cafe, conversations become incredibly focused and insightful.
Here's why I loved it 👇🏻
✅ Deep Dives: Each founder had the chance to delve into their product and their current challenges. It was a true exchange of ideas and experiences.
✅ Candid Connections: Unlike the usual "pitch perfect" environment, the breakfast table fostered open dialogue. Everyone felt comfortable sharing honestly, without fear of judgment.
This "Breakfast Social" format proved to be a fantastic way to:
Learn from Each Other 🙌🏻 We all gained valuable insights from hearing each other's stories and perspectives.
Build Stronger Connections 🥂 The relaxed setting fostered deeper connections than a typical networking event.
Understand the Ecosystem ✨ It provided a valuable glimpse into the current startup landscape.

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
