Happy Fellows

Being a founder is a lonely job. Being a female founder is even more isolating as there are fewer of us around to connect with. TCN brought a group of female founders at similar stages of business together and helped us connect in a meaningful and supportive way. Having this network of peers has been crucial for me on both professional and personal levels.

Allison Byers

Scroobious

As a founder, I was trying my best to avoid fundraising as much as possible. However, there is no way to build a healthcare startup with grant money alone, and I had to find a way to conquer my biggest fear — an inexplicable fear of fundraising and speaking to investors. After going through the TCN Fellowship, I now embrace the fundraising process and the many “NOs” from investors. Those NOs were crucial and valuable lessons to getting to YES.
