Welcome to the Founder Access Newsletter
Welcome to Founder Access, a newsletter for early-stage founders navigating the challenges of going from startup to growth company.
👋🏾 Hi, I’m Antoine Woods, and to quickly introduce myself, I’m a Tennessee kid who started as a programmer, became an entrepreneur, grew into venture capital, and now leverage my first-hand experiences to support the growth of others.
I intend for this newsletter to be a hub for sharing the invaluable lessons and insights learned from my daily interactions working with startup founders, VCs, and community builders.
