A diverse group of people pose for a photo in front of a screen displaying "FUNDING BREAKTHROUGH LAB."

Three years ago, I lost my job despite being a hard worker. It wasn&rsquo;t the first time&mdash;and I had watched friends go through the same experience. I had always dreamed of building something of my own and creating more control over my future. But when I was first introduced to a female founder, I almost had a panic attack. I didn&rsquo;t see myself as a founder.I felt like an imposter. And when I finally gained the confidence to call myself one, I discovered another challenge:&nbsp;there was an enormous amount to learn about building a company, but it was difficult to know&nbsp;where to start, who to trust, or even what questions to ask. That experience inspired me to create&nbsp;Funding Breakthrough Lab (FBL). We believe entrepreneurship should be more accessible.Funding Breakthrough Lab is a nonprofit pre-accelerator and founder community that gives aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs access to the knowledge, people, and opportunities that can help them turn an idea into a real business. We bring together experienced founders, investors, lawyers, accountants, operators, and industry experts to teach founders the fundamentals of company building&mdash;from validating an idea and finding customers to fundraising, operations, and building a team. But FBL is about more than information. We want to create a place where people who never imagined themselves as founders can walk into a room and feel like they belong there.So far, we&#39;ve:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Supported 72 founders through our accelerator programs</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Achieved 50%+ female participation</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Built a community of 25,000+ founders, builders, investors, and supporters</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Created workshops, mentorship, pitch opportunities, and community events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area</li></ul>And we&#39;re just getting started. Your donation helps us build what comes next. FBL is powered by people who believe that great founders can come from anywhere&mdash;but access to the right knowledge, networks, mentorship, and community isn&#39;t distributed equally. Your contribution helps us keep founder education accessible, recruit exceptional mentors and experts, improve our programs, create more opportunities for founders, and grow the community supporting them. Whether you give $10, $100, $1,000, volunteer your expertise, or simply share our mission, you&#39;re helping someone take a step toward building something they may not have believed was possible.
