Discover how Embarc Collective transforms ambitious founders into confident leaders who raise capital, build high-performing teams, and outpace the competition.
Doing it alone makes everything harder. Without experienced coaches and the right network, you're making high-stakes decisions on everything from hiring to product strategy to fundraising on your own... missing growth opportunities, second-guessing critical choices, and watching competitors race ahead of you.
“Being part of a community like Embarc Collective helped immensely. Sharing experiences with other founders and having access to coaches and mentors — including mental wellness coaches — made an enormous difference.”
“CDW has been proud to partner with Embarc Collective in fueling innovation and entrepreneurship across Tampa Bay and beyond. Together, we’ve empowered startups with the technology and support they need to thrive, driving meaningful impact in our local community.”
“Working together, USF and Embarc Collective are creating an ecosystem to drive innovation and accelerate community impact. Companies benefit from cutting-edge academic insights, while offering students hands-on experience and mentorship opportunities. Together, we're amplifying our individual missions, creating breakthroughs that neither of us could achieve alone.”
“Joining Embarc made a huge difference for me. Before that, I was trying to figure it all out on my own. When I joined Embarc, I got exposed to a lot of different knowledge, different visions, and different points of view. And that made me a better founder.”

Embarc Collective is right for you if…
You control engagement frequency and focus areas based on your priorities — with a targeted time investment designed to enhance your productivity, not consume it.
Our 75% subsidized pricing model means you get world-class support at founder-friendly rates. Get full platform access at $249 / month for early-stage founders or $299 / month for growth-stage founders.
Rolling admissions mean no waiting periods or rigid deadlines. Apply from anywhere, get fast onboarding, and jump in at the start of your first month after acceptance.
Every coach is a proven operator with deep startup experience—think former CEOs who’ve raised Series A-C, VP-level executives from high-growth tech companies, and functional experts who’ve built the systems you need to scale. As paid members of our team, they’re accountable to your success and cost a fraction of what you’d pay for comparable expertise elsewhere.
We’re designed for the unique challenges tech founders face—from product-market fit to scaling engineering teams to raising institutional capital. Instead of general business networking, you get personalized coaching from seasoned tech operators, expert support across every business function, and a peer community that understands proprietary technology and venture-scale growth.
Results are directly tied to your willingness to do the strategic work your coach assigns and implement recommended changes. At 6 months, founders who follow through typically have clearer strategic foundations, proven decision-making frameworks, and momentum on key challenges. By 12 months, those who consistently execute coaching recommendations achieve breakthrough results—faster growth, successful fundraising, strategic hires, or market expansion—with the leadership capabilities to sustain that progress.
You’ll join founders building serious tech companies—those with early traction seeking to scale, established businesses ready to accelerate growth, or experienced entrepreneurs tackling their next venture. Our members are growing B2B SaaS, fintech, health tech, and other technology-enabled companies, ensuring you’re surrounded by founders who are serious about building something significant.
Successful members take ownership of their growth by embracing feedback, engaging with their advisor and peer community, and consistently implementing the strategic guidance they receive. Founders who struggle typically resist coaching, skip sessions, or expect transformation without doing the hard work required to build a scalable business.
First, we’ll work with your advisor to reassess your objectives and adjust your support plan—sometimes it’s about refocusing priorities, sometimes it’s about changing your coaching cadence or expert mix. With monthly billing and the ability to cancel membership anytime, you maintain complete control over your investment.
We match based on company stage, industry focus, and growth challenges—ensuring your peer group includes founders facing similar strategic decisions around scaling, fundraising, or market expansion. Your Executive Advisor helps facilitate these connections and ensures the group dynamic supports everyone’s growth objectives.
Join 125+ ambitious founders who stopped guessing and started scaling—with personalized coaching, expert support, and a community that moves at your pace.
