Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the founders on California Founders?
Every founder on the roster has started, scaled, sold or is currently running a real company based in California. We verify their identity and their company history before they're listed this isn't a general expert or coaching marketplace.
How much does a session cost?
Each founder sets their own hourly rate, shown on their profile and typically between $500 and $2,500. You pay through the site when you book no separate invoicing.
What happens after I book?
You'll get a confirmation with the zoom call link, plus a reminder before your session. Sessions run one hour by video or phone, whichever the founder offers.
Can I book the same founder more than once?
Yes. Many people book a second or third session with the same founder as their business moves forward. Some founders also offer ongoing access through the Founders Table community.
How is this different from a conference or a coach?
The conference is a separate, quarterly in-person event. Coaching is generic advice from people trained to advise. This is direct time with someone who built and ran their own company the conversation is about what actually happened to them.
